VintageandRare visited the 2012 edition of the UK National Drum Fair to bring you news of exciting products coming out of the custom and vintage drum world.

We shot a few videos featuring drum builders Nick Hopkin and Jalapeño Drums and vintage drum pusher Mark Jeffs of Rusty Drums UK. We have a jam session vid with Sticky Wicket and Garry Allcock, as well as a photo slideshow from the expo. Watch it all below.

The National Drum Fair was founded by a group of drummers for the purpose of organizing and promoting an event at which drums, accessories, equipment, and drumming skills and techniques could be displayed, traded and promoted.

This annual event is organized, promoted and managed by drummers for drummers to provide an opportunity for the display, promotion, trading of drums, associated products/items and drumming skills to be available to the drummers and potential drummers of the UK and beyond. It is a non-profit organization and seeks to be self-funding.
