about
Terl Bryant is a drummer and percussionist who works extensively as a session musician, and has contributed to many top flight recordings to much critical acclaim. In his early career he was a member of the influential Christian progressive and Celtic folk-themed band Iona. Terl currently lives in the West Sussex country side with his wife Jules and their six children (2 girls and 4 boys). Biography Bryant's biography in his own words: "I recall being about 6 years old, sitting behind my dad in his sports car banging on the back of his seat whilst some groovy rock music blasted out on the radio. All of a sudden..............he pulled the car over, and in frustration shouted,” if you're going to bang on the back of my seat - DO IT IN TIME!”... from then on I was focused. I became mad about drums and got my first drum set when I was 12, I practised hard at home working out the beats on my favourite records; Deep Purple, Captain Beefheart, Bob James, Deodato, Peter Frampton, Beatles etc., and by 15 I was playing in local pubs. I moved to London aged 17, but turned down an audition for Adam and the Ants (before their huge success). At 18 I joined a Bedfordshire based called 'Stranger', which later became 'Tobruk' (remember them??). I left soon after we auditioned singer Fish (later of Marillion), who was travelling the UK looking for a band to join. Two of the band didn't want him while the bassist and I thought he was fantastic. He was obviously going places. I left the UK
