    Makoto is a fantastic drummer, highly recommended. He has a broad knowledge of a lot of different drums styles and really pays attention to the details. He gets a great tone and takes care to match the sound of the drums to the sound of the song. He's fast and he'll do what you ask him to do and give you a great track.
