About Percussion Marketing Council
Formed in 1995, the Percussion Marketing Council (PMC) is the percussion industry’s trade organization. Its members are drum and percussion manufacturers, suppliers and dealers and are governed by a board made up from a representative group of its members. But more than just a group of companies and a governing body, the PMC is a nonprofit with a mission to actively promote the many benefits of drumming to the general public. By working together as a group of related firms in a non-competitive and cooperative manner, the PMC is creating more players and is assuring continuous development of more and new drummers.
