"In the studio Kevin is the perfect combination of groove, style, and touch that elevates a recording and ultimately benefits the song and artist. His understanding of what is needed and more importantly, what is not, is why I've used him on countless sessions. "

ARTIST FEEDBACK

" Kevin is and amazing drummer. I've seen him play in several different types of bands and he excels at each style. Kevin's drumming turns a straightforward blue-rock into a New Orleans vibe with a twist. He takes basic acoustic songs played live in a coffee house and brings them to life with a cymbal, snare, and a box. He has lent a hand in my own band from time to time and lays down a heavy groove one minute and the next leaves space for the notes to ring out and textures of the music to shine. He brings the best out of us. He is a professional. Quirky, Powerful, Heave Groove, Delicate Thunder are some of the adjectives I would use to describe Kevin's drumming. He is truly one of a kind." Chris Taylor Recording Artist

" Kevin is the heartbeat. Kevin is one of the most intelligent, intuitive, and creative drummers I have ever had the honor of working with. He listens before he plays and he always takes the song to the next level. He brings it to life. If you'll listen when he speaks (which is rare), he has incredible insight and ideas for the feel of the song and brings far more to the table than just his undeniable talent. His heart, character and overwhelming talent make him an exceptional artist and an inspiring human. I am honored and inspired every time I get to share the stage with him." Abbi Walker Recording Artist
