Hello everyone! It’s that time of year. Be sure to tune into the PASIC Blog to follow along on our annual trip to PASIC. we will be posting from the clinics and exhibit halls, and more!! Today, we tart our 8 hr trek to Indy.
7:20a – About to pick up the rental van for the trip to Indy!
10:14a – on the road now! We’re stopping at Lambert’s (home of the throw’s rolls!) for lunch!
11a – Almost everyone in the van is asleep. Wimps!
7:42p – We got checked into the hotel ok. I think we’re about to hit downtown Indy and see what’s up. Man, it’s chilly. I really should’ve brought a hat! The trip was much shorter than I thought. We watched a couple of movies in the van and it flew by. Tommorow is the day where it gets crazy. PAS didn’t send out badges ahead of time which means we have to queue up tomorrow to get them. Grrrr. Why did we register so early then?? Anyway, I don’t have a schedule or anything to go on for tomorrow, only that I know the first drum set clinic isn’t until 11a. Look for more live updates!
8:11p – Whadya know? PASIC registration was still going strong, so we were able to pick up our badges just fine. It went pretty smoothly! And everyone was nice. I still miss the personal touch from Adventure Travel. Kim was great!
Turns out it was a little to brisk for me to be walking in the windy downtown. I’ll let the younguns have their time together. Plus, they won’t feel like the boss is hovering over their shoulder.

Hey guys. Very sorry for the late notice. There will no show this will as Dave & the gang are armpit deep in Drumathon preparations. Be sure to tune in to Drumathon Live to catch all the action live. And as always we're doing this to send the Visible School drummers to PASIC 2009 in Indianapolis, IN, but we can't do it without your help! Please donate!

Good things in the works from our friends at Taye (pronounced TIE). Their new Studio Birch kit looks amazing. Taye makes great drums. I remember being very impressed with Jim Payne's Taye kit at PASIC 2006. What I think is interesting is that they have several different bass drum sizes. 24" x 16" would be awesome!

Here it is ... our final clinic of PASIC 2008. It's been a wild ride!
---
5:01 They are still setting up the kits on stage. A tune from Nightmare Before Christmas is playing (the "Sandy Claus" one). I hope this isn't idicative of this last clinic. It seems like an odd choice for the show closer. In the past, this slot has been Peter Erskine, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckly and Steve Smith. ...
