My session work has been reviewed in Pitchfork, Paste magazine, and NPR Music and received national radio play on KCRW (Los Angeles), KEXP (Seattle), and Lightning 100 (Nashville).
I was the subject of the children's book 'Inside a Rock Band' and performed at Lollapalooza '95. For 30 years, I've recorded and played with countless bands with the same goal: serving the songs by providing tasteful, solid, versatile session drum recordings.
Styles: Alternative, indie, power pop, Americana, alt-country, neo soul, pop rock, worship, country, glam
I record 8 mics through quality preamp channels to capture great drum tones in my sound treated studio: 6 on the set and 2 on the room. I'll return finished, processed tracks or dry, raw tracks - whatever you prefer. Beautiful Gretsch drums, Zildjian cymbals, and a variety of worthy large condenser and dynamic microphones.
Favorite drummers: Bill Berry (R.E.M.), Al Jackson, Jr. (Stax), Dave Grohl (Nirvana), Roger Hawkins (Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section)

Endorse Brian Fuzzell8 Reviews

Brian is one of the most solid and thoughtful drummers I have ever played with. He has great timing and feel. He can hit hard when the song calls for it, but can also be dynamic with the quieter moments too. He is kind and super hard working and would be an absolute asset on your project.

I was in a DIY touring band with Brian for many years… played 100+ shows together and truth be told, he’s the only reason any tours ever happened. We also recorded a few records together and his drumming was/is always creative and dependable. Solid A++ hugger to boot.

I've known and played in bands with Brian for over 20 years. He's always been a rock-solid musician that you can depend on to raise the quality of a song, across genres. He also happens to be one of the sweetest and most reliable humans I've had the pleasure of working with.
I only recently became aware of his engineering work, but it comes as no surprise that his tastefulness and diligence carry over. I just saw his prices here, and it's a ridiculous value that I should probably take advantage of myself.

Brian’s a first-rate musician and collaborator. He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and excellent judgment to any project.

Working with Brian was fantastic from start to finish. He delivered excellent drum tracks with great feel, great sound, and meticulous attention to detail. He took direction incredibly well, and every take was thoughtful and on point.
The tones he gets from his kit and recording setup are top-notch, and the Logic Pro project files he delivered were perfectly organized and immediately compatible with my workflow.
He helped me complete a tricky project for a large, well-known publishing house on time and on budget. I couldn’t have done it without him!

Having had the fortune of recording with Brian on several occasions, I can tell you that he is a true professional. Brian plays in a way that enhances the song and complements the other players. He makes a big impact without demanding that the listener focus on what he's doing. Brian holds himself to a high standard, both in terms of performing and recording, and he's very good at sticking to a schedule and meeting deadlines. I have never been disappointed in Brian's work, and always look forward to listening to his contributions to a song.

Versatile, reliable, and dynamic drummer. Understands the subtleties of song structure and is adept at creative arrangements and parts.
