PASIC 2013
The Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC 2013) recently took place in Indianapolis, Indiana. What an inspiring event--thousands of percussionists, an exhibit hall with amazing gear, concerts, clinics, and a great vibe!
I checked out the new Studio Pro tambourine at the Grover Pro Percussion booth at PASIC 2013. YES!!! German silver jingles in a wooden shell give this instrument a mighty sound. I am looking forward to adding the Studio Pro to my tambourine arsenal.
At PASIC 2013, the Interactive Drumming Committee sponsored the Rhythm Lounge. This late-night drum circle allowed participants to play "lower-volume" percussion in a group improv setting. I had a fun time hosting the Thursday night Rhythm Lounge.
