'Potter London'
. In 1810 Samuel Potter started a musical instrument company when his first son, Henry, was born. Samuel was already a very big figure in Royal and military music but, as an officer of the British Army, he was forbidden to form a company. However, he started the company in the name of his newborn child Henry.
The company started as specialists in drums, fifes and bugles quickly establishing itself and soon diversifying into other areas of music and the Military. Henry Potter & Co. Ltd continues to focus on specialist products, meaning that the company can stay true to the ideals of tradition, reliability and excellence that have made its name.

The sticks also come complete with a bass drum mallet.
