Not much I can say here. James simply killed it. Amazing drummer, very professional and reliable. It feels like if I’d have Dave Grohl or John Bonham playing drums for me. I’m super stoked and looking forward to record more with James in the near future.

This was my first time working with James, and I gotta tell you, he totally exceeded all my expectations. The guy is a killer drummer. Very gifted, professional and easy to work with. He delivered great sounding, solid tracks in no time and I couldn't wish for more. Hopefully we're gonna work together a lot in the future. Big thanks!!!
