Day 38


I wanted to have a recording of me playing in concert practice, but when I listened to the CD, they missed me out. So here are the back ends of my timpani mallets. They have been wrapped with latex and glued. This is so that I can play with the butt ends of my sticks and not damage the timpani skins. There’s also a better tone than there would be if it was left unwrapped.

  1. They shouldn’t have missed you out. I would have loved to hear you play in concert practice.Nice idea to wrap your sticks and it makes a great photo as well – with great reflections and composition.
