Quality Work & Competitive Rates
"Chris is the Jeff Porcaro of Pittsburgh-the consummate professional session drummer with impeccable skills, taste, & attitude. He's that rare breed of musician who is always focused on playing what's best for the "song", not what might impress other drummers. To me, that's the highest level of musicianship that there is.
On a personal level, he's as rock solid as his timing is on the drums. He always shows up prepared, on time, & ready to record some amazing performances. He played on the Simple Carnival's Smitten 3D project, and I consider myself the luckiest guy in the world because of it." - Jeff Boller, Simple Carnival.
"Chris isn't just one of the best drummers around, he's also one of the best people around. He's always smiling, always on time, and always optimistic during the recording process no matter what comes up. He shows up with all the great you could possibly need and promptly tunes it to your space. Man, do his drums sound good. He's a one-stop shop for great drum tracks. Just add coffee and stir gently. He'll take it from there!"-Daniel Blake-Audio Engineer at The Schoolhouse.
"Chris is a total professional. He is a very versatile drummer and me the recording process so easy for me by being really prepared. He is also very accommodating. I could give him an idea of how I wanted the songs to sound and he could make it happen. Definitely recommend him to all my musician friends!"
