New Jersey Percussive Arts Society

About Me


The Percussive Arts Society® (PAS®) is a music service organization promoting percussion education, research, performance and appreciation throughout the world.
Welcome to the official presence of the New Jersey home of the Percussive Arts Society on Myspace.
There is much much more coming onto this site, like videos, members' recordings, etc. But for now, please make suggestions, add yourself to our friend list and spread the word to all the drummers and percussionists you know in the state to join us and help us grow! We encourage all of our members to keep us informed about events, concerts, clinics and anything else of interest to our percussion community. They will be added to our calendar here on Mysace and the events page at the NJPAS website.
If anyone would like to submit an article of interest to the members, please contact the chapter via e-mail for information on how to submit the article or send a message to Doc here at Myspace.
We are looking for ideas and suggestions for making the chapter's web site more interesting and informative for our members.
Please submit your e-mail address to the chapter and receive up to date information about what's going on in the State.
To contact the NJ PAS:

We'd like to take a moment to say one thing about our presence on Myspace: The Percussive Arts Society is a culture and an organization made up of percussionists of all ages and backgrounds. Please do not seek out our friendship nor link to our page if you host a page that sports profanity, nudity or anything else anyone might find offensive; we won't accept the friendship. Please join us; we want to befriend every drummer and percussionist in the world, but we have members who are minors, among others.
