Endorse Dennis Holt
check_circleVerifiedDennis makes me like drums more over my own singing voice even! I turn up drums in the mix where it should be, the center of the circle! Dennis nailed a progressive free form pop song in one session. He maps out and delivers you perfection every single time and I consider him a part of my Toto-like cyber band. Make him your band mate as well, you will never regret it, trust me!
check_circleVerifiedEXCELLENT drummer, communicator, delivery seamless, and LEGEND of a guy! Highly recommend Dennis!
check_circleVerifiedWhat can I add to the long list of superlatives that haven't already been said about Dennis? Plain and simple he's a pro's pro, consistently delivers the goods and then some each and every time. Is meticulous and precise. Enhances and complements any style of tune thrown his way. Need a drummer for your song? Take it from me: do yourself a favor and hire Dennis Holt!

Dennis is very easy to work with and a real pleasure! Quick turnaround, and he is very detail oriented. He was able to point out some issues with the foundation, that I didn't catch. We was gracious and patient enough to help me work through it, as I am green. I can't express how much I appreciated this professionalism and kindness. I have found my forever drummer!
