    Impressed (as always!) with Dan's hard work and talent -- he's my SoundBetter go-to! Dan and Chris went above and beyond with production for my latest song, and I've had it on repeat! Cannot wait to share this one; they're really turned it into something so stellar.

    Dan was really great to work with, with his experience he instinctively understood what the song needed and delivered a superb drum part. Added some really helpful options and tips for mixing too. Would definitely recommend Dan and his team for your song!

    What patience and understanding! We went through a couple of revisions and Dan was very understanding and kept tweaking until we nailed it. Also his drumming was on the mark, amazing skils and vibe. Also very good in communication, even when I was sometimes lacking:)
