Percussionists

Missing all of your sticks and mallets from last year and need a whole new setup.

Try here http://www.wwbw.com/Vic-Firth-EP2-Intermediate-Education-Pack-443958-i1137890.wwbw

This is probably the best deal around. I can also get this delivered to the school as well. You just have to let me know you want it. This has everything you need for class from 7th grade till 9th grade.

If you don't need the entire thing we can certainly just get you the items you need as well. Just let me know what exactly you need and I will get them ordered.

Thanks and Happy Practicing!
