Damon GrantHOST
First up for music news, if you are planning to go to PASIC, the expo hall is now sold out and completely full.
Damon GrantHOST
If you would like to see the listing of exhibitors that will be there, you can click on the link that will be in the show notes and, uh, get ready to score some major deals.
Damon GrantHOST
I know a lot of these companies are presenting new products, but also they are looking to not have to ship it back to their headquarters [chuckles] so they will be cutting some amazing deals through the weekend, and this is your chance to score some, some cool gear.

I'll do the UK drum show in October, which is quite a haul from here.
Derek LeeGUEST
And then in November, the kind of equivalent size drum show in the US is going to be PASIC, the Percussive Arts Society International Conference.
Derek LeeGUEST
And this will be my third year exhibiting at both the UK drum show and PASIC.
Derek LeeGUEST
And for any of your American listeners or even your UK listeners, For anybody who's really wanting to get in the industry and connect with people in the industry, going to shows like the UK Drum Show, going to shows like PASIC are the best place to do that.
Derek LeeGUEST
And I credit Brandon Koo, who's a well-known drummer in Singapore and starting to build his reputation outside of Singapore as well.
Derek LeeGUEST
He met me back in like 2015 and he was the one who told me like, Derek, you got to get out to the conferences.
Rich RedmondGUEST
No, you're, you're right about that, man.
Rich RedmondGUEST
Drummers are just the best and, you know, if your listeners aren't members of the Percussive Arts Society, they should join because, um, it's just celebrating over 50 years, and we get together every year in Indianapolis.
Rich RedmondGUEST
And so all the world's greatest drummers, drum educators, you know, K through pros- post graduate, um, get together and mix and mingle and share ideas, and it's really drum set heavy now.
Rich RedmondGUEST
Back in the day, um, the drum set thing at PAS was kind of part of the story, and now we know that most people are drum set players, so they really crank that up, you know, every year.

Josh QuillenHOST
And I kind of want to start this podcast off with just sort of a bigger picture question.
Josh QuillenHOST
You know, one of the things that they never tell you as a student when you see your face on a concert poster or you know, playing at PASIC or giving a lecture on something.
Josh QuillenHOST
I went to the Oberlin percussion Institute and you gave a lecture on, um, uh, the name is completely slipping my mind.
Josh QuillenHOST
Uh, Dalcroze, uh, Eurythmics and stuff like that.
Josh QuillenHOST
And so I just basically had my ass handed to me for an entire week about all of all of that good stuff.
Josh QuillenHOST
But, you know, one of the things they don't they didn't tell me, Larry didn't tell me.
Josh QuillenHOST
And no one at PASIC told me it was that, you know, at one point, if you don't mind me saying you're 76 years old, is that correct? I mean that as a compliment.
Josh QuillenHOST
It may not have come out as such, but...
Kyle LongHOST
One final question, Nikki.
Kyle LongHOST

Kyle LongHOST
PASIC is the Percussive Arts Society International Convention.
Kyle LongHOST

Kyle LongHOST
It's really one of the best kept secrets in our local music scene here.
Kyle LongHOST
I do a lot of coverage about PASIC, trying to let people know how important this event is.
Kyle LongHOST
What does it mean to you? What does it mean to come to PASIC? What's that experience like for you? What would you tell our audience in Indianapolis?
