Resources for Percussion Education

Our Mission

Percussion Pal is modernizing music education through clear and concise online resources that educate, inform, and inspire.

Taylor and Ricky quickly noticed a lack of basic fundamental skills usually built in the first few years of percussion education. Students and teachers were looking for ways to improve upon these skills, but they needed the proper tools to help them do so.

As a response to this, Taylor and Ricky began brainstorming solutions to create a resource that was packed with clear and easy to understand information. This is where they discovered the Graduate Music Award (also referred to as the Presser Award) that would eventually fund what is now known as, Percussion Pal.
