Nolton shows how it is not easy playing mallet percussion, as you have to use up to four mallets and learn certain technique in order to play the instrument right.”I really love the piece I am working on,” Spencer comments,”It is music I really love working on and shows how I am really painting my own picture.” (PC: Brendan Kwietniewski)
