…okay, so perhaps our recent name change announcement was uploaded on April 1st, and perhaps that technically makes it a joke. So what? Imagine the possibilities! When’s the last time you’ve drummed with a meterstick by your side!?

Despite this, we have some very cool, very real projects to share with you! Whether you’re hungry to hear some new music, learn some fascinating perspective, or get teaching, there’s something for you in our April Newsletter.

Unique highlights include: multiple works with electronics (vibraphone, marimba, ensemble), two incredibly flexible percussion ensemble collections with adaptable instrumentation (1, 2), and a book dedicated to blowing your metronome skills wide open.
