Endorse Dennis Holt
check_circleVerifiedDennis is a Pro's Pro, and delivered great drum tracks in a very timely fashion. Great tone and feel. These tracks are going to be perfect for this tune. Can't wait to send additional work his way. Thanks Dennis!

5 stars! Dennis worked on a complex groove with me and was flexible and responsive as we worked out best approach for the tune. Highly musical and intuitive, would recommend for sure
check_circleVerifiedDennis has the drum chops and ear for exactly what a track needs! On this one I gave him a reference track for style and he delivered what I was hoping to get. Great communication and fast turnaround time as well! He also just seems like a good dude that if I was in the studio with him all day recording afterward I'd wanna go out and get a beer with him lol. Another solid performance from Dennis and am looking forward to more!

Dude is the real deal. Just ON! Solid Every time !!!! Amazed.
check_circleVerifiedIt doesn't matter what era for Dennis. Personally I'd like to send him back to 57 as he belongs there and would be easier to deal with a Time Machine in between. Haha, just kidding! He really did a back to the future bit on a time piece song and he is the best, no doubt!
