 Hey guys, welcome to another episode of drum history news today. We have a really cool one This is all about a drum show, which is it the earliest? Is it the first drum show? I think that is a big possibility I don't know. We'll maybe see if anyone has any other examples that they can post in the comments of earlier drum shows But this is cool. It's got Leedy in it. It's got George Way in it and like I said It's all about possibly the earliest drum show So this is from the Los Angeles Times in 1925 and it reads Something new a drum show in the band and instrument department of the Berkel music company Maybe Burkele not sure third floor an unusual exhibition of the latest Leedy drums and traps is to be a feature of this Gala week in Los Angeles. Mr. George W. A. Mr Charles Sebert representatives of Leedy drum manufacturing company who were both professional drummers of national fame and who are attending the Shrine Convention in Los Angeles have consented to devote a certain amount of their time to special Demonstrations of the wonderful Leedy drums and traps at the Berkel music company every day from 9 to noon in the morning And from 1 to 4 o'clock in the afternoons And then we have the latest Leedy floating heads snare drum will be one of the Extraordinary features of these drum shows and all caps It is something that will be of intense interest to all drummers for it incorporates a most advanced Improvement and snare drums hitherto unknown then we have the new vibraphone Which has been creating a sensation in all radio broadcasting stations in the east will be on exhibition at the Berkel music company come and marvel at the clever exhibitions of our nobles guests and The instruments which they use then we have the Berkel company the Steinway house really cool ad It's it's interesting in the end how it says come and marvel at the clever exhibitions of our nobles guests It's just like I don't know grammatically that sounds weird And I also like how it says with the hours are 9 to noon and then 1 to 4 o'clock It's like because these guys have to take a lunch break obviously, but you don't really see that now Someone would usually be covering it George way and Charles Sebert were like the guys working here It sounds like it's a little different from a modern drum show where it would be the Berkel or Berkel company is kind of sponsoring to bring in George way and Charles Sebert to Represent Leedy and show people what they have going on. So it's kind of like a single vendor drum show which clearly had to be a Influence for future generations to have more drum shows and more trade shows about drums because it seems like the way they write this It's like an anomaly like this crazy drum show, you know, like come and see this. It's never been done before So really interesting like I said before this is a very early example of a drum show. Are there earlier ones? Possibly I mean we're this is 1925 so it's pretty early in the drum set There's always been trade shows and things like that. So if you know of an earlier one comment below, but 1925 is certainly very early so thank you to Jerry Reimann per usual for Providing me with this article from his great percussion in the news binder that he sent over.
