Percussive Arts Society

Since 1976, the organization hosts the annual Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) which is the largest convention for drummers and percussionists in the world.

[2][3] 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.

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

The Percussive Arts Society owns and manages the Rhythm!

Opened in 2009, the 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) museum houses an 800-piece collection, with rotating exhibits and interactive programming.
