From the back cover: The percussion ensemble heard on this album demonstrates a facet of percussion training at W.V.U. which is not apparent to the average concert goer - that of "popular" percussion music. This type of percussion music is not often heard on campuses because of the emphasis on percussion "art" music in the formal concerts through-out the academic year.

This type of percussion music is not often heard on campuses because of the emphasis on percussion "art" music in the formal concerts through-out the academic year.
Hence, "Protest In Percussion" affords an opportunity to show the results of percussion training in popular music, which makes up such a large segment of the professional demands made of percussionists in the music world today.
