Percussive Arts Society

Percussive Arts Society (PAS) is a non-profit organization for professional percussionists and drummers, as well as drum and percussion educators.[1][2] It was founded in 1961 in the United States and has over 5,000 members in 40 American chapters, with another 28 chapters abroad.[3] It is headquartered in Indianapolis.[4] PAS hosts a large convention annually for percussive artists, students, and educators called the Percussive Arts Society International Convention or PASIC.[5][6][7] The convention has been running yearly since 1976. PAS also holds an annual indoor marching festival which includes Drum Corps International participants.[8][9] PAS developed an influential list of drum rudiments called the PAS 40 International Snare Drum Rudiments, which are considered to be the current standard reference on the subject.[9]

The Percussive Arts Society publishes Percussive Notes, a bimonthly academic journal started in 1963, and previously published the magazine Rhythm! Scene.
