    Recording with Gal was an absolute masterclass. His technical skill is phenomenal, but what really sets himm apart is his intuition—he know exactly what a song needs and delivers it with precision and flair. Gal’s professionalism, creativity, and positivity made the session a standout experience. I can’t wait to collaborate with him again

    In the world of session drummers, Gal stands out as a true artist. His ability to adapt to any genre, from rock and pop to jazz and funk, is nothing short of extraordinary. Gal’s drumming not only anchors the music but adds depth and texture that enhance every recording he touches. A first-call session musician who consistently raises the bar, And has changed the way I produce music!

    Gal is the ultimate session drummer—versatile, precise, and a true studio professional. He has an incredible ability to interpret the vision of a track and bring it to life with impeccable timing and feel. Whether it’s a tight groove or an experimental rhythm, Gal nails it in every take. A session isn’t complete without their magic behind the kit!

    Gal has played a lot of songs for me by now and my reviews become redundant. But, in fact, not enough can be said about Gal's musicianship, communications skills, and all the requirements for success on this platform. If you want timely and perfectly planned and executed drum tracks, look no farther. You just simply cannot go wrong with Gal. He's my go-to drummer and could be yours, too!

    Gal is a superb drummer, a consummate musician, a great communicator, and an overall great person. His work is always spot on: I didn't ask for one revision for 8-10 songs, nor did I ever even considerate asking - there was simply no need. Perfection first time every time, exceeding all expectations. Always super-creative. I cannot recommend any drummer or musician higher.

    This song had a lot of tempo changes and changes in mood - Gal handled it perfectly, delivering a solid and exciting drum track the first time. He really nailed it. I simply cannot say enough good things about Gal's work. I know that, regardless of a song's complexity and requirements, he is going to get it right, mostly the first time around, every time. I just don't have to worry that I will have super-high-quality and professionally executed drums parts regardless of song complexity. Perfect!
