Half a Halo sign exclusive endorsement with Balbex

Toronto - July 18th 2003 - As one of few companies in the world that manufacture drumsticks to order based on specifications supplied or a sample, Balbex also offer customized logo or signature printing directly on their product.

"We manufacture 37 types of drumsticks including classical ones to international standards and special products developed to specific requirements of individual musical styles. We do our best to supply the widest possible range of drumsticks so that every drummer can find what best fits him or her" says owner Tomas Havlin.

"We are very excited to sponsor Half a Halo, and will be providing them with our 5B Premium Hornbeam sticks with the Half a Halo custom logo imprinted on them".

The deal will include promotion of Half a Halo at trade shows and industry fairs in Europe, while the band will fly the Balbex logo on promo items and advertisements.

Half a Halo's drummer, EColi says "We feel pretty honoured to be sponsored by such a reputable stick manufacturer, and this deal will bring more attention to both Half a Halo and Balbex in our respective countries. As a player I hit really hard, Balbex sticks can withstand the torture I put them through. Hornbeam is also known as Ironwood, due to its dense nature, so the response with these sticks is very dynamic."

Balbex also exports its drumsticks to USA, Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany and Poland.
