DAVID HEXT

owner of Hextmusic

"David Hext has once again given us some invaluable additions to the examination repertoire [Tuned Percussion Books 3 & 4], and both he and the London College of Music deserve our support for their initiative. I also feel that his initiative could have far-reaching effects, playing a definitive role in the development of mallet percussion in this country [UK], and as such it cannot be ignored."

Suite Concertante for Timpani
"This is a tremendously exciting piece for timpanist and pianist alike, certainly a work of the 21st century and which will surely fill a huge gap in the repertoire."

"David Hext has produced a piece of high standard demanding high levels of technique and musicianship and I can see it being used for many years to come."
