Lede (2–3 sentences)
What is PASIC, when/where is the 2026 edition, and why should drummers care this year? Lead with the single most interesting storyline.
Sessions & clinics to watch
- Pick 3–5 sessions/labs from the schedule and say why each is worth attending.
- Tie at least one to a trend (e.g. rudimental education, hybrid kits, film scoring).
Artists & educators
- Headliners/clinicians you're most interested in — and who you hope to interview (only name interviews you'll actually pursue).
On the expo floor
- Product categories / brands you expect news from. Keep it to what you'll actually cover.
How we'll cover it
One line on your plan: preview → interviews → product news → recap, all at press.idrum.com.
Reminder: do not state or imply media credentials have been approved. If you cover remotely or as an attendee, say so plainly.
