Formed in 2008, Sympatico Percussion Group consists of members Scott Herring, Joseph Krygier, Johnny Mendoza, Christopher Norton and Susan Powell. Their repertoire includes rudimental drumming, ragtime xylophone, pop transcriptions and original compositions.

“The group members draw from their many years of performing throughout North America and abroad with chamber ensembles, orchestras, military bands and as soloists, in addition to considerable cumulative pedagogical experience holding college professorships,” reads a portion of the ensemble’s bio.

The members of Sympatico Percussion Group have more than 75 years of college teaching experience at institutions such as Ohio State University, the University of South Carolina, Belmont University and McMurry University.
