This decade saw changes in the team of the Percussions de Strasbourg. While some original members stepped aside, new musicians arrived to stay as permanent members: Christian Hamouy, Keiko Nakamura and Jean-Pierre Bédoyan. Others also join the team as teachers or occasional members. That is the case for Jean-Michel Collet, Pierre Moerlen, Pierre Gasquet, Jean Couturier and Norbert Jensen.
