Hi. My name is Warren van Wyk and I am a pro touring and recording drummer from South Africa. I have worked with a number of Multi-Platinum selling artists and have recorded hundreds of drum tracks for artists all over the world at my studio. Please see some of my endorsements below:

Absolutely a Total Pro! I am an RIAA Dimond credited recording engineer, with grammy participation certs on those records, a Platinum producer and songwriter, and multi album artist. I have worked with the best drummers in the world, and am a stickler for the critical balance of time and groove. I have already sent 2 more tracks of dozens more. Seriously,I can keep him busy, so don't believe me... great sound, great mics, tuned kit, solid time, excellent instincts , right compression, great communication. Killer performance! - TERENCE DOVER

I learned music production in Studio City/LA/Hollywood - and Warren is right up there with the best of the best session musicians I have ever worked with. His artistic instinct as a drummer makes an original track sound like something you have heard on the radio - it just belongs and sounds right. His placement of the right drum sounds, emotion, and feeling are spot on and his drum STEM mixes are pristine and just want I need - from tight toms, to spacious reverberating crashes and snares - it's perfection to me - ERNST LEE - United States
