IMPORTANT NOTE: LABEL EVERYTHING!!!
Your percussion equipment is a serious investment, and should be clearly marked with your name, constantly inventoried, and well-taken care of.
You should be able to purchase any of the following from Steve Weiss Music, as well as other retail folks. If any of the following is not actually in the online catalog at Steve Weiss, ask for it through an email, fax, or over the phone. Encore mallets and books/music can also be ordered from Penderıs Music, in Denton. Please see my Links page for help in accessing those websites.
