WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

“Huei is a smart and generous percussion instructor.  In addition to preparing our son to earn spots in All Southern and All State Honor Bands two years in a row, he has also sparked the composer in our student musician.  Huei has worked with our son for two years. In this time his passion has grown along with his skill.  This year at All Southern when Hampton finished his xylophone solo the conductor shook his hand…our hearts smiled. Our son is excited, confident and eager to tackle each new challenge Huei presents from French grip to Stevens grip. We truly appreciate Huei and look forward to their continued collaboration. If you are looking for challenging and passionate instruction for your percussionist Huei is most certainly a smart choice.” – T. Douglas

“Since meeting Huei, I have been nothing but impressed by his dedication, attention to detail, and most of all, his unending passion for helping other people learn about music. Of all of the educators that I have ever worked with, Huei has been one of the few who not only instructs their students, but cares about the development and growth potential of each and every individual who is willing to learn. Huei has been able to touch thousands of lives through music in a positive way, via his extensive institutional, drum corps, winter guard, and social media presence. I cannot wait to see what he will accomplish next as he continues growing as a power-house educator in the world of percussion.” – D. Koning

Fellow Drummers, talk about a GREAT resource for your hands and loads of exercises for your students! Huei-Yuan Pan, percussionist and educator extraordinaire put this out just a few months ago. I bought the full PDF version off of marchingpercussionplaybook.com, but you could buy the pieces individually if you wanted. This is excellent material, thoughtfully presented and logically assembled. If you ever wanted to take a lesson or in this case, five, from a world class percussionist, this is your chance! I recommend you check it out!” – F. Sanchez

“The percussion community is extremely fortunate that Huei has begun to professionally deliver his curriculum and video lessons in a format accessible to the world. Huei has quickly risen to the top, and is setting the new standard for online percussion education.”

The structure and pacing of the book are very accessible for students and teachers alike, and Huei provides resources I wish I had back when I started learning rudimental percussion in high school. I will definitely be using this with my students and I look forward to whatever resources Huei puts out in the future!

  Sean Knuth – Tenor Tech, Pulse Percussion and Phantom Regiment

Whether you are learning online through his Periscope Lessons, reading his inspirational Blog Posts, or practicing through his Digital Downloads, Huei, and all of his educational content, are an essential part of the percussion community.

  Mark Perrett – Co-Author of The Grid Book Series thegridbookseries.com

Huei’s done a fantastic job of giving a clear and concise explanation of one of the most simple and effective ways of getting your hands moving. This is a great training method for new percussion minds to expand their dexterity and vocabulary.

I really love these handouts, especially since I’ll be the center snare next year. I’m trying to take in as much information as I can so I’m ready to take on the responsibility of leading the section and sharing all my knowledge with my peers.

Andrei Dimaano – Student, Pomona, CA

HUEI, YOU’RE THE MAN. THANK YOU. If it weren’t for you and your handouts, your many videos and teachings, I would not be where I am today. I’m marching with one of the best collegiate drumlines in the nation and just received a contract for the world class independent ensemble, Equinox Percussion. Thank you for everything that you’ve done for me and for the percussive community.

Dylan Pachorek – Student, Cullowhee, NC

By keeping up with Huei’s periscope lessons and soaking in his ideas and teaching tools, I have become a better instructor and, as a result, a better player. Because of you, I have learned a variety of different ways to approach topics in percussion and also developed a more well rounded understanding of what it is we do in rudimental drumming. Learning how to apply that information to getting over different obstacles in literature and in teaching has enhanced my ability to understand as well as teach others.

I would like to personally thank you for all of the hard work and dedication that you put into your craft as well as the time you take to share it and lift up others. Because of you, I have learned a variety of different ways to approach topics in percussion. Again, thank you so much for everything you do. Keep up the amazing work and happy drumming!

Landon Davis – Percussion Instructor, Auburn, AL

The informational text is very straightforward and easy to understand. This benefits the “non-percussion” percussion instructor in their quest to possibly teach younger students or start a drumline of their own.

Cullen McBride – Music Educator, Tupelo, MS

My students have greatly improved their percussion vocabulary and confidence – in large part due to these resources.

 Matt Carity – Percussion Instructor, Columbus, OH

I just want to thank you, Huei! I have been using the handouts and watching the video lessons and they have really helped me develop as a player. Because I watched the video lessons and used the handouts I was able to make a independent winterline for the first time. I can’t wait to keep using the handouts and streams to grow even more as a player! Thanks again, Huei!

Evan Duarte – Percussion Instructor, Lakewood, CA

Hi, Huei. First I want to thank you for the work you do, it is unprecedented and I admire you for it. I’m 21 years old and I’m from Panama. 4 years ago I entered the world of marching percussion, but in this country, there are few good teachers as far as marching percussion is concerned.

I have seen your videos. I even have the pdfs of the first season of your periscope lessons, and for me, you are the best and I want to become like you. Not only in the musical, but also I want to be able to transmit my knowledge to the new generations in the best possible way and to make the community of percussionists increase, just as you do.

Thank you for reading this message!

– Carlos Bernal – Percussion Instructor, Panamá
