Black Dyke take Centre Stage

The Black Dyke percussion team will be using the full range of Centre Stage sticks and malletts.

Centre Stage
 

Centre Stage Percussion has announced that its latest endorsee for their superb range of sticks and mallets is the English National Champion, Black Dyke.

The range, which will be used on all Black Dyke concert and contest performances, now extends to well over a hundred variations.

Proud

Speaking about this agreement, Centre Stage Director Jon Davies told 4BR: "We are very proud that the outstanding Black Dyke percussion team feels that the sound, quality and versatility of our Centre Stage percussion sticks and mallets meets their demanding standards of performance, and we look forward to working with them to develop the range further."

Excellent

Black Dyke percussionist, Andrea Price, explained the reason for the endorsement: "We met with Martin and Jon at Centre Stage, and quite simply, the range of sticks and mallets was excellent.

This was shown with the outstanding build and materials quality, which gave the perfect balance, detail and above all else, the sound quality.

We are forwarding to using the sticks and mallets at the forthcoming European Championships in Perth and beyond. The other thing that impressed all the team was the very reasonable prices for sticks of this calibre, making them affordable for any band."

Black Dyke is synonymous with excellence, and has always enjoyed having world class percussionists in its ranks. That their team favours our range is a huge vote of confidence in what we are doingCentre Stage
