Joe Morris : "I have been using Engelhart percussion for over 10 years. I met Pete when I was still a young and up coming drummer at the Namm Show. His instruments are like none other I have ever played. They last forever and the sound is unique and clear. It is by far my favorite percussion instrument to play. When I hit the side of my kit that has his pan drums on it the crowd always goes crazy. Thanks Pete !!!" : www.joemorris.net
