    If you've heard or seen his performances before, you already know Hutch is an awesome drummer, but he's also a total pro, and the nicest guy to work with. His communication means you're never chasing, he gives you everything on time, and he gets the vibe of a project first time.
    Can't wait to work with him again - total hero :)

    If you have a song and you need drums, the answer is hutch...of course.

    With our second collaboration, the process was even smoother, and the results were outstanding. His excellent communication, professionalism, and perfect punctuality.. say no more! Why waste your time searching for a drum session when you can just go with Hutch?

    I am so happy to have Hutch drumming on my song. He has such a great feel, nice and tight yet human and dynamic. His drum sound is next level, very pro, so good. He's also just a great guy, super easy to work with, communicative and timely. Looking forward to doing more!

    He is incredibly professional and open-minded. I've already made the decision to collaborate with him on a second project – that explains a lot, right? I feel so lucky to have him on my track - thanks Sean!

    Sean is a true talent! Perfect rhythm and timing but also has a skilled ear and the ability to capture and record the nuance and desired percussive sound for any song. He will be my first option for live drums and percussion moving forward.

    I asked Sean to help create and play a drum part for a groove pop song and he did an incredible job! What I really appreciated, along with his skill and creativity, is that he absolutely understands the song you are creating, and plays in service to the song. Very happy with how it turned out. His timeliness and communication were also very professional, a nice guy to work with, hope to work together again soon.

    Hutch was an absolute pro to work with. From start to finish he knew what the song needed, tweaked some parts when requested and was very quick to respond throughout the process. In the end he brought my track up to a whole new level. You will not be disappointed working with Hutch!

    Sean did a great job on a new track I'm working through! Wonderful play/feel, professionally recorded, plenty of options, and all wrapped up with a great deliverable. Five stars across the board.

    Thanks Sean!

    Hutch truly is one of the best! He is super musical both in how he plays his instrument and how he presents his recordings. Songs I thought were finished might get a dose of Hutch and suddenly start off in a way cooler direction. He's got a great ear for song form, tension and release and will bring a ton of vibe/feel to a track- but always in a way that best suits the music. His ideas are superb. He's inspiring to work with and also just a great human!

    Hutch is not only the most brilliant drummer in a live setting, but he’s the absolute best and my go to for remote session work. I love sending him a track a just telling him to do whatever he feels and getting back a few live takes that are better and more interesting than what i could have imagined. There’s tons of great drummers out there, but very few who can make songs from totally different worlds work like he does.

    Love working with Sean! He’s the ultimate professional. Have done a bunch of remote recordings with him and he always nails it. His tracking sounds dope, and he has some special sauce on his drum buss that makes his drums just sit perfectly in the mix. I’m always trying to find more projects to work with Sean on because he’s just that good and fun to work with. Highest recommendation.

    Sean is an incredible drummer and musician. His feel, sound, and intuition are top top notch. I've had him work with written material, and asked him "to play what he hears and feels". In both cases he has exceeded my expectations. He's delivers great sounding, cleanly edited, and timely parts. He's also just a great person! Big big thumbs up for Sean Hutchinson!

    HUTCH! Sean is a super talented and tasty drummer! Fast and easy to work with. He can do anything but always plays THE SONG. His recording techniques are highly versatile and he provides you w a lot of different mic placement options, so you can blend them as you like, but he also recommends his own blend, which is very helpful. High recommend! Sean rocks!!

    Hutch is a real pro, a drummer’s drummer. I’ve had the pleasure to play with him in the number of settings, as well as hiring him to record on some projects of my own. Sean always brings it. Very musical, great feel, superb tones.

    Great drummer, great guy. Versatile, groovy, great touch, and "record-ready" sound, right from the get-go. And did I mention he's a great guy?!
