Advert: Centre Stage Percussion

Centre Stage Percussion is here and re-defining the way in which you can meet your percussion needs — including free drum sticks!

Centre Stage
 

The Butlins Mineworkers Championship will see the launch of Centre Stage Percussion — an exciting re-defining way of purchasing the very best quality percussion instruments at amazing prices.

Full range

With the full range of percussion instrumentation — from marching bands to full orchestral setups now available, Centre Stage Percussion offers players, bands and organisations a fantastic way of balancing superb quality with superb prices.

Benefit

Martin Gernon told 4BR: "Our aim is to redefine the way in which percussion instruments are sourced, marketed and purchased – for the benefit of the first time player to full symphony orchestras.

That certainly includes the requirements and long term requirements of the players in brass bands, who are central to what we want to achieve."

No better way

He added: "We believe there will be no better way for any player or band to meet their percussion needs in the future. This is world class quality at a world class price."

Amazing deals

Fellow director Jon Davies believes the extensive research and time devoted to sourcing the best instruments from around the world will be the key to Centre Stage Percussion success.

"We have met with wonderful instrument makers — told them our requirements and come up with amazing deals that are aimed at giving players the very best musical experience at the very best price.

The range on offer is superb: We have something for everyone."

Free drum sticks

So why not get along at Butlins and see for yourself – and while you are there you can get your hands on a free pair of hickory drum sticks too!

"It’s one pair per band — but we think we may have to get more in given the quality of what we have to offer!"
