I had the great opportunity to work with Rich for an album studio session here in Berlin. It was one of the best drum recording experiences ever. Such a well prepared and easy going TIGHT drummer is very seldom. Can only give my best and warmest recommendation. www.flemmingborby.net
Working with Rich Millin was amazing, relaxed and professional. He is an excellent drummer: tight, creative, passionate, incredibly well prepared and concentrated. It was such a pleasure to have him around in the studio, as he is such a funny and friendly person. it was such a pleasure to work with him.
Rich has an uncanny ability to quickly grasp the style of the piece you are trying to create and adapt his playing style accordingly. He laid down great sounding brilliantly played drums wholly in keeping with how the finished track was intended to sound. It's as if he was tuned in to the finished song that had been playing in my head. - Si Hall
