Going to The Midwest Clinic this year? Come check out the Lebanon Trail High School Percussion Ensemble on Thursday, Dec. 19 at 2:00p.m.!

PASIC is only a few months away! I will be presenting for the University Pedagogy Committee on Thursday morning, judging on Thursday afternoon, and performing in John Beck’s session with my fellow UNC Percussion colleagues on Saturday. Please stop by to say hello!

Thank you to TAMA for letting me share information about snare and tom tuning. These three videos can be found on the TAMA Drums YouTube Channel here.

I was fortunate to co-author the best-selling book from Meredith Music/GIA called “Rehearsing the Concert and Marching Percussion Ensemble.” I contributed a chapter about rehearsing the concert percussion ensemble along with such greats as James Campbell (editor and compiler), Michael Burritt, Julie Davila, Thom Hannum, Colin McNutt, Doug Perkins, David Skidmore, Brian West, and She-e Wu.
