Wow!!! Dennis seriously rocks! Couldn't be happier with how this process went. He was super easy and awesome to communicate with. He took the direction amazingly well and then completely blew my mind & over delivered with his performances! The tones he gets are top-notch!

Dennis is a friendly and consummate professional. He did some great shaker, tambourine and cowbell work on a couple of tracks for me and was quick to turn it around and responded well to feedback. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Dennis again.
