4 welcome message

gent work of the many volunteers on the PASIC Logistics Team who make each year’s PASIC a greater suc-cess. Please share your appreciation with these individuals if you have the opportunity at PASIC 2007. Support of this vision is critical and the many percussion compa-nies and manufacturers who are PAS Sustaining Members dedicate great amounts of time, energy, and money investing in PAS and PASIC. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our entire membership I want to acknowledge and thank these Sus-taining Members for their support and sponsorship, as well as the hun-dreds of exhibitors who transform the exhibit halls into the International Drum and Percussion Expo. Be sure to plan your days to visit the exhibit halls where you’ll experience the largest collections of new instru-ments, music and products ever assembled. Please take a moment to thank these sponsors and exhibi-tors for providing so many wonderful opportunities for your enrichment at PASIC. Lastly, I want to thank you, the members of PAS, and the many PASIC participants and attendees for making PASIC the unique experi-ence it is. PASIC is a time and place for sharing of concepts and ideas with our colleagues, to renew old friendships and make new ones, to become more involved in PAS and the world of percussion and to be renewed and inspired by new prod-ucts, publications, provocative think-ing and ideas, and the incredible artistry of our greatest performers. I hope you will enjoy and celebrate YOUR unique community at PASIC 2007!

pas HistoriaNs Lisa Rogers and James Strain

It is an honor for me, as

your PAS President, to welcome you to Columbus, Ohio and our 32nd Percus-sive Arts Society Inter-national Convention. PASIC 2007 is a celebration of 46 years of PAS and is the fifth time we have held our annual convention in Columbus with previous years being 1993, 1999, 2002 and 2005. Each time, Columbus has proven to be a tremendously welcoming city with excellent event facilities for our unique convention. Again this year, the lineup of world-class artists, clinicians, workshops, exhibits, meetings, performances, and concerts promises to provide memorable experiences for all at-tending and participating. PAS is about community and there is no greater community of percus-sion and drumming enthusiasts than you’ll find at a PASIC. As we come together these four days to share our music and friendship it is important to recognize those who make YOUR PASIC the greatest per-cussion event in the world. PASIC wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of Jeff Hartsough, PAS Director of Event Production & Marketing and Cory Cisler, PAS Program and Events Manager and their staff. These individuals work with the PAS Executive Committee and Executive Director Michael Kenyon and his staff in Indianapolis to create a vision for each PASIC from the hundreds of applications and incredible proposals for PASIC sessions received from individuals, groups, companies and PAS Com-mittees. After months of refining and planning they eventually implement this vision at PASIC through the dili-

cAll for ProPosAls PAsIc 2008 focus dAy “out of Africa: exploring African Influence

in contemporary Percussion music”The PAS New Music/Research Committee is pleased to announce a call for proposals for presentation/performance at the 2008 PASIC Focus Day, Wednesday, November 5, in Austin, Texas.

The theme for the day is “Out of Africa: Exploring African Influence in Contemporary Percussion Music.”

The committee seeks proposals for performances (solo and ensemble) and other presentation formats, in order to explore and celebrate the influence of African music and instruments on 20th and 21st century percussion music. The African “connec-tion” may be present in the composition itself (e.g. Steve Reich’s “Music for Pieces of Wood”), and/or in the instruments used (e.g. Iannis Xenakis’ “Okho” for three djembes). We are not seeking transcriptions of African folk music for a Western percussion ensemble, but rather, original compositions inspired by African musics, instruments, and/or aesthetics. Proposals including compositions or instruments with an Afro-Brazilian, Afro-Caribbean, or Afro-Cuban influence will be considered, with preference given to those with the strongest African connection.

The committee is particularly interested in showcasing solo and ensemble works for various membranophones, especially frame drums (tar, riq, pandiero, etc.) and hand drums (doumbek, djembe, congas, etc.). We are also interested in mallet keyboard works (marimba, xylophone, etc.) that are uniquely influenced by African music, and innovative compositions that feature lamellophones such as the kalimba or mbira. There are no limitations on instrumentation. Works may also include a dance element that can be integrated on the stage, although a dance floor will not be provided. The main thrust of the day will be on new and original music. In addition, the committee also seeks one presentation that will summarize the dissemination of African music and culture to the Americas (Cuba, Haiti, Brazil, the United States, and elsewhere), and ultimately it’s influence on 20th and 21st century percussion art music. Similarly, the committee is considering the inclusion of one traditional (folkloric) African drum-ming ensemble that utilizes traditional instruments (and possibly dance).

The New Music/Research Committee is looking to significantly expand the knowledge of the PAS community concerning African influence on our repertoire and instrumen-tation, to pay homage to the source of much of our percussion music, and to generate new works that reflect African musical forms, compositional styles, or instruments. As always, the committee seeks the interest and participation of both emerging and established composers, scholars, and performers. All proposals that qualify for inclu-sion on the 2008 PASIC Focus Day will be given complete and careful consideration.

Please note: expenses and the securing of instruments and funding sources will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s). This includes the logistical and financial considerations involved with additional performers. Please prepare and submit your proposal with this consideration. A completed application must be included for pro-posal to be reviewed.

Armand Zildjian (1921-2002)

Armand Zildjian’s introduction into the world of music

came at a very early age. Born into the Zildjian

family with a 350-year-old tradition of cymbal

craftsmanship, it was always understood that

Armand would follow his father Avedis into

the family business. For Armand, it was

an honor to match cymbals for the great

symphonies and to collaborate with the

greatest drummers of the day to develop

the new cymbal sounds musicians were

looking for.

In receiving his honorar y Doctorate

from Berklee College of Music in 1988,

Armand told the Berklee students how

very fortunate they were to have the op-

portunity to study contemporary music.

“In my day”, said Armand, “the classroom

was primarily the nightclubs where all the

great musicians learned from each other.”

As a charter member of the Percussive Arts

Society and a 16 year Trustee of Berklee College,

Armand sought to create more learning opportunities

for today’s musicians both in contemporary and classical

music. The PAS Armand Zildjian Percussion Scholarship is one

step in fulfilling that quest.

PAS/Yamaha Terry Gibbs Vibraphone ScholarshipLegendary vibraphonist Terry Gibbs began his career at

the age of 12 after winning the Major Bowes Amateur

Hour Contest and subsequently began touring

professionally. He performed for many years as a

drummer and percussionist until his affinity for

bebop motivated him to return to the vibes and

subsequently become recognized as one of the

best ever to grace the genre of bop.

After World War II, Gibbs toured with Buddy

Rich, Woody Herman, Louie Bellson, Benny

Goodman and formed his own band for the

Mel Torme television show. Gibbs led his own bands in the 50’s and in 1957 formed the critically acclaimed big band

“The Dream Band”. Throughout his career he has enjoyed world acclaim playing with jazz luminaries, Buddy DeFranco,

Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, Horace Silver, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones and Tito Puente.

Terry Gibbs is a Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame member with 65 albums to his credit, winner of three major jazz

polls and creator of over 300 compositions. This scholarship is in honor of the indelible mark Gibbs has left on the

world of vibes.

100 percussiveartssocietyhistory

During the late 1950s, it became obvious to many professional percussionists and music educators that a national percussion

organization dedicated to education was needed. This need was discussed by leading percussion performers and music educators whenever they had the opportunity to gather at regional or national music conventions, such as MENC or the Midwest Band and Orches-tra Clinic held each December at Chicago’s Sherman House. During the spring of 1960, Robert Winslow, a professional percussionist and North Hollywood band director who served as an educational advisor to Remo Belli, wrote to leading percussion educators requesting their assistance in establishing such an organization. Among the stated goals of the organization contained in these letters were: “to bring up to date the present standards in our solo and ensemble contests,” “to stimulate a greater interest in percussion performance and teaching,” and “to promote better teaching of percussion instruments.” While at the 1960 Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, Remo Belli, an exhibitor at the convention, invited a group of interested percus-sionists to dinner at the hotel’s restaurant to discuss the formation of the organization, and at which time he was given a mandate to name the organization. In January of 1961 during the SW-MENC in Albu-querque, New Mexico, a meeting was held at the Sundowner Hotel where Jim Sewrey suggested the name “Percussive Arts Society” to Remo Belli. Others present at this meeting, in addition to Mr. Belli and Mr. Sewrey, were Fred Hoey, Frank Arsenault, and George Frock.

Pictured above are several of the fourteen founding members of the Society. (left to right, near side of table) Remo Belli, Jack McKenzie, Don Canedy, Mervin Brit-ton, (left to right, far side of table) Hugh Soebbing, Vern Reamer and Sid Lutz, and Kenneth Leisen.

Following this meeting, Mr. Winslow sent a letter proclaiming: “We are underway. The Percussive Arts Society is open for busi-ness,” and in September 1961, the Society sent its first publication, Percussive Arts Society Bulletin, printed on a mimeograph machine donated by Mr. Belli, to the membership. The fourteen originating members listed in the first Percussive Arts Society Bulletin were: Remo Belli, Warren Benson, Mervin Britton, Robert Buggert, Don Canedy, Rey Longyear, Charles Lutz, Jack McKenzie, James L. Moore, Verne Reimer, Jim Salmon, Hugh W. Soebbing, Charles Spohn, and Robert Winslow.

After three Bulletins, a determina- tion was made to transfer the ad-

ministrative and publication duties of the Society to Professor Donald Cane-dy, who was the percussion instructor and band director at Southern Illinois

University. In April of 1963, Mr. Cane-dy, with the advice of a distinguished editorial board and an able group of contributing editors, published the new PAS journal, Percussionist (in later years called Percussive Notes Research Edition) in its familiar book-let form. Mr. Canedy served as de facto president through 1964, when, at the December Percussive Arts So-ciety meeting in Chicago, a constitu-tion was adopted and regular officers were elected. Gordon Peters became the first President of PAS; Jack McK-enzie took the position of First Vice-President and Mr. Canedy continued as Executive Secretary. Also elected were a Board of Directors and an Editorial Board. With this solid structure, the Society became in-creasingly influential, expanding its committee activities to address important percussion issues and making policy decisions that would result in important contributions to all areas of percussion.

An important expansion occurred in 1967 when James L. Moore’s already successful Percussive Notes became an official PAS pub-

lication. Another milestone was achieved in 1969 when the Society was incorporated in Indiana as the Percussive Arts Society, Incorpo-rated, a status it maintained until 1985 when it was reincorporated under the laws of Illinois. Beginning in 1971, performances and clinics called “Days of Percussion” were held in conjunction with the yearly business meet-ings. In 1974, the first Percussive Arts Society National Conference (PASNC) was held in Anaheim and at California State University at Northridge. It was hosted by Lloyd McCausland and Joel Leach (CSU/Northridge) and the PAS California Chapter, David Levine, chapter president. The PASNC evolved into the Percussive Arts Soci-ety International Convention that we know today as PASIC. The first PASIC was held in 1976 at the Eastman School of Music in Roches-ter, NY, and was hosted by John Beck, the Eastman School and the New York State Chapter (see next page).

It is important to note two significant awards presented annually by the Society. First, since 1972, PAS has inducted some of the most

important people in percussion into its Hall of Fame. Secondly, since

1974, the PAS Composition Contest has encouraged the production of hundreds of new works, many of which have become part of the standard percussion repertoire. Thus, the Percussive Arts Society, which began in 1961 as a group of fourteen concerned percussion-

ists, has grown to more than 9,000 members worldwide, with signifi-cant influence on percussion performance, education, composition, publication and manufacturing.
