    It was a great experience working with Hutch. Easy communication & very intuitive & creative. Hutch took my basic drum idea to a whole new level I hadn't imagined. 5 stars!

    Hutch really cares and will go out of his way to ensure you are 100% satisfied, so grateful that a world class drummer is available on this platform! Dude just think about the days of old - back then the only way you could get a guy like Sean on your track is if you were Sinatra! If you want your song to sound better with a more human touch compared to programmed drums, hire ya boy.

    So easy to work with. And always does a great job. The mic choices he sends over allows for so many options when getting to the mix!

    Hutch is the Tops! Amazing feel for the song, naturally creative with a knack for setting the scene with a beat and a flourish. Can’t wait to work on many more tracks!

    Doesn't get much better than this guy. Recorded with a bunch of drummers in the last couple years both in person and on soundbetter and haven't been more happy with a tone/performance than with Hutch.

    It was the first time we worked with Sean, and he nailed it right away!
    It was easy to communicate with him and he really knew how to interpret our vision for the song! Great sound and lots of choices.
    We are looking forward to work with him again!

    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 :)

    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.
