Chris Howard
Quote: "After several years of use, my Rock N' Roller Multi-Cart continues to impress!

Bryan Taylor
Quote:"As a drummer I have a lot of equipment that needs to fit in my car; I don’t have room for bulky, awkward carts. I do however need a cart that is solid and reliable once I’m at the gig. The Rock-N-Roller cart is the only cart I have found that can breakdown small enough to fit in my car, with all my drums, and yet can be tough enough to haul them from one spot to another with ease. Rock-N-Roller makes incredible products and I feel honored to endorse them!"
Bio: Bryan Taylor was born in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in a very musical family. His father is a school music director and a percussionist in his own right. As a child, Bryan and his dad spent hours discussing, not only how to play drums, but how to play them musically. Bryan began playing instrumental music at the age of nine. He studied trombone in the school band and drums on the side.
Throughout his grade school education he performed on both instruments in many different types of groups. At fifteen Bryan began studying guitar as well.
