I had an enquiry from one of Chas's customers the other day for some Paiste.

Once again sorry to hear about Chas.

'eric hammond' asked me to post for him,
said he passes the shop every week and often wonders what will become of it, and its contents?

Eric taught me briefly in the early 90s, and sold me my first proper kit. Absolutely lovely bloke.

Ditto to the above. Anyone who read my Premier BDP thread will know linalmeemow and myself were taught by Eric at the same time. I remember he brought this vintage orange sparkle kit in once - would love to know what it was! Incidentally, my 20" Genista bass drum had a Chas Hooper sticker on when I bought it with the other Genistas.
