"Black Swamp accessories offer unsurpassed sound quality and craftsmanship that can literally bring music alive. The MPDuo is constantly seeking the best colors and sounds for each new piece we approach and we can always find the perfect match with Black Swamp instruments. "

Founded in 2006, the Meehan/ Perkins Duo (Todd Meehan and Douglas Perkins) has emerged as a driving force in new music through their compelling performances of new works for percussion. The Duo believes in cultivating relationships with living composers through commissions and collaborations that expand the percussion genre. Their repertoire encompasses the vast sound possibilities of percussion, including both acoustic and electro-acoustic works.

Todd and Doug first began collaborating in 1999 as founding members of So Percussion. They have since performed at countless venues across the country including the Bang on a Can Marathon, the BAM Next Wave Festival, Miller Theater, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and the Round Top International Festival-Institute. In addition to their performances the Duo regularly teaches master classes at universities throughout the country.
