    Brandon is a great session drummer.
    Quick, only within a few hours he performed high quality drums and knew exactly what my song needed to get to the next level.
    Brandon is also very polite and easy to work with.
    I truly hope I will have the opportunity to get his drums on more of my songs soon.
