Ruud Corstjens of Adams Percussion told 4BR: "We are very pleased to begin this partnership with Foden's — an iconic name within the British and global brass band tradition.

The band has a superb percussion team, and we are proud that our instruments will support their work in rehearsals and performance. We were introduced to the band through our euphonium artist Gary Curtin, and I would like to thank him for his role in helping to bring this partnership together."

World leading

In welcoming the link, Foden's percussionist Mark Landon added: "We are delighted to enter into a partnership with Adams Percussion who are widely regarded as the world's leading instrument provider.

It will see our team use the entire range of Adams Percussion instruments across rehearsals, concerts and recordings, with a shared focus on musical excellence and long-term collaboration."
