Percussionist and Percussive Notes Research Edition were scholarly research journals published by PAS between 1963 and 1987. Many of the early issues were printed in limited quantities and have been very difficult to locate. But now they are all available online in pdf format exclusively to PAS members. Individual articles as well as complete issues can be downloaded and printed.

These publications devoted to percussion research and education contain a wealth of information on all areas of percussion and are highly sought after by students, teachers and professional players. Contributors to these journals include Henry Adler, Louis Bellson, Carroll C. Bratman, William Cahn, Gary Chaffee, Vida Chenoweth, Cloyd Duff, Roy Knaap, Morris Lang, Max Neuhaus, Al Payson, Gordon Peters, Stuart Smith and Charles White, plus many other distinguished names in percussion research, performance and education.
