Welcome to PiNdrop Music Design
We specialize in original, creative, sophisticated, and challenging music composition and educational tools for all musicians, with an emphasis in percussion.
The James M. Bennett High School Drumline in Salisbury, Maryland will be performing the pit music from The Beat Factory in the Tournament of Bands/Tournament Indoor Association circuit on the East Coast! They will be arranging their own battery music and basing their show on the concept devised by Noah Clark and designed by Noah and Phillip Ginn.
Speaking of Noah and Phillip, they are hard at work finishing up some musical odds and ends, designing next year's West Campus High School field show, and working on new music for the PiNdrop catalog, including drum cadences and indoor percussion shows.
UPDATE: January 12, 2010
This 2010 winter season, PiNdrop Music Design is proud to provide music for the Monta Vista High School Drumline in Cupertino, Californa, performing Lessons in Rhythm in the CCGC and NCBA circuits, and the Saddleback High School Drumline in Santa Ana, California, performing Discovery in the ADLA circuit. Good luck to both drumlines!

Congratulations to the West Campus High School Fall 2009 Marching Band in Sacramento, CA!
