Welcome to the home of the California chapter of the Percussive Arts Society! The Percussive Arts Society is the world's largest percussion organization and is considered the central source for information and networking for percussionists and drummers of all ages. Established in 1961 as a non-profit, music service organization, the mission of PAS is to promote percussion education, research, performance and appreciation throughout the world. Today, PAS is 8,500-members strong with 50 chapters located across the United States, and an additional 28 chapters outside the United States.
The California PAS supports the mission of the society by offering “days of percussion,” competitions, and other events at sites throughout Northern, Central, and Southern California. See our listing of "Events" for the latest information and links to percussive events throughout the state. See our "Chapter News" items for detailed information about past events and activities. If you’re interested in attending an event, or you have an event you think we should list on the website, use our "Contact" information to let us know.
