Anyone going to PASIC this year? For those that aren't familiar, P.A.S.I.C. is the acronym for Percussion Arts Society International Convention.
In a nutshell, it's where the percussion world comes to party!! Drummers, educators, gear heads... They roll in from across the globe to hang, jam, and geek out over ALL THINGS RHYTHM AND PERSUSSION! I love the NAMM show but PASIC is exclusively for drummers. There are mind-blowing performances, hands-on playing sessions, and you can be among the first to try out the latest drums, sticks, and 'toys' hitting the scene.

Now, I just need to talk my wife into letting me go.

Steve Houghton taught at the Jacobs school in Indiana so, he will probably show up.
I had lessons with Steve in Dallas when he had just got out of the One O'clock Jazz Band (directed by Leon Breeden) at North Texas State.
Good drummer and good educator....

I've heard some good things about him. Apparently he taught at M.I. for awhile and I've met some guys that went there and used to study with him.
Don't know much about his playing but heard he's both a great teacher and player, as you said.
