The NW Percussion festival weekend was a huge success! Great music, inspirational clinics, wonderful camaraderie, it had it all. Brad Dutz and his artistry were phenomenal! Tons of technique, creativity, and a true gentleman. Just a great guy to be around. (His chime solo, pandeiro rolls, and bones solos were unreal!!) Zivkovic was great, a true master of the instrument and a wonderful performer. He really got the most out of the group!! I hope some of you can get the chance to attend and participate in the following years.

From 1989–90, Cox performed with the Spokane Symphony while teaching at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene.
In 1992, Cox earned a master’s degree in percussion performance from the University of Miami, having toured Europe with trumpeter Arturo Sandoval the previous October. Cox then moved to Portland, Oregon, where he worked as a freelance musician in both live and studio settings.
