Drums & Percussion

Percussive Arts Society. A society dedicated to percussion education, research, performance and appreciation throughout the world.

This site is a great resource of information directed by Pandit Samir Chatterjee, my tabla guru. Its purpose is to preserve and promote the rich heritage of Indian music in the United States.
