"Remo has been part of my sound since the early 1980s. Remo’s drum heads are more than a choice to me, they are a collaboration, helping me shape the sound that is a part of my musical legacy. I later discovered Remo’s extensive range of percussion instruments, which I have played and used in countless recording sessions and live shows." -Terl Bryant
