PASIC 2015

PASIC 2015 took place this past week in San Antonio, TX.  Thousands of percussionists attended the event which featured world-class performances and education.
As part of the Interactive Drumming Committee, I led a "flash jam" on Thursday afternoon--a short drum circle just outside the exhibit hall.
 
The amazing hand drumming of N. Scott Robinson, Christopher Deane's performance/clinic on composition, and the Thursday evening concert by Ghost-Note were among the highlights for me. 
 
Checking out gear in the exhibit hall is always a kick.  Here I am at the Yamaha booth with way more drum set than I can handle.
