Mark Richardson, who used to endorse Yamaha drums, rose to prominence with rock band Skunk Anansie. But he also played with Feeder, and Little Angles among others, amassing a collection of Gold and Platinum discs along the way.

Commenting on his endorsement, Richardson says:

"After 22 years in the business of professional drums and drumming, it is an honour and a privilege to be welcomed into the Sakae family. I am very much looking forward to continuing our long standing relationship and getting out on the road with these amazing drums."

Mark will be debuting his Sakae Trilogy kit on Skunk Anansie's forthcoming March 2014 European acoustic tour.
