About the PMC
The Percussion Marketing Council is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization comprised of industry-leading members representing every facet of the percussion industry manufacturing, distribution and publishing, and educational festivals and alliances. The PMC sponsors educational programs, campaigns, and activities to increase the entire population's interest in drums and drumming.
ORGANIZATION HISTORY:
Formed in 1995, the Percussion Marketing Council (PMC) is the percussion industry's trade organization. Its members are drum and percussion manufacturers, distributors, publishers, and educational organizations which are governed by a board made up of a representative group of its members. But more than just a group of companies and a governing body, the PMC is a non-profit 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.
