  • “Extraordinary drummer. Very hard working and achieves perfect sounding drum tracks. The job is always done in specified time. I must say Tim is a gold mine for someone who needs drum tracks to their songs! The only bad thing about him is that he’s not in my band!” – Andy Blucha

    “Tim’s drum tracks are simply amazing. They are tight, bang on everytime and sound absolutely GREAT. The service from Tim was second to none too and it amazed me how fast the turn around was. I loved the fact that Tim played with great musicality and thought and the end result was worth every penny." - Mark Walby

    “Having worked with musicians all around the country via email, I can safely say Tim is by far the most satisfying to work with; he will get the job done very quickly, his rates are very competitive, he will communicate well with you and most importantly he does a fantastic job. Aside from this, he is very friendly and patient and obviously genuinely loves what he does." - Chris Rogers

    “Tim is patient, generous, quick to respond, and has an apparently miraculous ability to learn complex time signature changes by ear with quite astonishing speed.” – James Duffy

    “The drums came through today, and they’re fooking brilliant! Honestly, they’re perfect. Thank you so, so much. I’ll definitely be contacting you in the new year asking for more. I’m a happy man.” – Dan Markland

    “The tracks Tim did were great. Dead simple. A quick chat on the phone and he was away. I was initially a little doubtful, but he absolutely nailed it.” – Martin Delgado

    “We’re the Sudanese Playboys and went to Tim in Jan ’09 to work out and record some drum tracks. We spent 2 days with him and the man is brilliant! He learns real fast, is inventive and a joy to work with. The quality of the tracks is first class and he delivers them in double quick time. Can’t praise him or the experience enough. - Jamie Finch

    “We’re very pleased with Tim’s service. He is both reliable and competitive. The recordings are first class and we look forward to having Tim in our band for many years!” – C.W

    “Tim was an excellent choice for us at a time when we didn’t have a drummer. He would lay down a cool initial drum track and then be happy to alter it as many times as needed (don’t worry it wasn’t many) until he had a track that we loved. Once that was done he would then send over excellent quality tracks (individual) in our case to use for our recordings. Tim can take up any challange, even managing to interpret my non drumming terms for what I wanted (‘make it sound like you are tapping your fingers on a desk type sound’) and make them sound great!” – Simon Tongue

    “We’re massive Zeppelin fans but when we looked for a drummer to record our EP we wanted something more modern. Tim effortlessly found the perfect modern grooves and excecuted them with the weight of Bonhams hand. The sound was massive, in turn we started to sound like the rock n roll band we always new we could be. Tim worked like a fifth member patiently fine tuning and developing each track with the ear of a songwriter and the feel of a limitless drummer.” – Rami Madhon

Now with an army of 1,200 drummers interested in this line of work, including hundreds who are already doing it, it seemed a great opportunity to create something bigger and more awesome for all the musicians out there who need drum tracks recorded for their songs. With such a large talent pool of incredible drummers, the time felt right for the...
