Just testing my sharing of pictures... and showing you the new mallets I gratefully received from Chalklin Percussion.

I've used Chalklin mallets for years, and I thought I might try and get some form of endorsement: so I sat down and wrote a letter. I didn't succeed, but I got the nicest letter from Paul Chalklin, and these lovely mallets! Used them yesterday in a recording session with James Kelly, and of course I'll be taking them out to Matlock and Manchester! But don't they look lovely all arranged?
