We hired Hisham to play drums on a few tracks and he was so easy to communicate with and always on time. A true professional and amazing drummer! Highly recommended!
AMAZING! I needed live drums for a film score I was working on and Hisham was SO easy to work with! He delivered the goods on the first take, not a revision needed. Can’t recommend him enough. Between his skills as a drummer and him being SUPER professional with communication and timing, man, 10/10.
Through my career in music I had the chance to work with Hisham a few times in the studio and remotely and every time I was blown away by his talent and taste, he always know what the song needs perfectly and it a talent that is hard to find, his parts always support the song and don't just add groove to it, it will give your song a soul.
P.s
He is a mean piano player too :)
Interview with RIŽIK
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Feel and power.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have a knack for powerful playing and feeling out your musical moments, accentuating them for more life. "Play to the song" is in my bones, I try not to overpower the song with anything too fancy. Naturally, as a drummer, I'd like to be the one that holds it all together.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First, LOTS of listening. I try to communicate with the clients and listen to tracks several times through before I even pick up a drumstick to really understand what the intention is. Then I usually jam on top of what's already there, usually a temp or programmed drum track. And then I take a break! Rest the ears and remove all context. Then I come back and jam again, this time removing the temp drums. I'll usually begin coming up with parts I'm likely going to record by the second or third pass. Then I record! Send it to you, ensure you're happy, and hopefully... do another one to you. :)
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Fully mic'd acoustic Sonar drum kit with countless snares and cymbals to choose from, PLUS... triggers with Ableton Live for all kinds of digital experimentation.

- Gretsch Bell Brass... welcome to the family!Mar 08, 2023
For years I've been after that big, FAT, luscious whack of a true bell brass snare. Only problem is, they're obscenely expensive.
So I did what any normal musician would do, I bought it. :)
I'm so stoked to finally get this baby in my arsenal.
See for yourself!
