Chris Dovas on SoundBetter

Drummer for Testament, Seven Spires and Dovas. I specialize in Metal Drumming, Jazz, Funk, R&B, Pop, Rock, and more. Studied/graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music, Performance.

My name is Chris Dovas. I am the drummer of Testament. I am offering my drumming services for any of your music that needs drums.

I normally record out of my home studio and then send the individual drum tracks for each channel recorded when you are 100% satisfied with the recordings. That being said I am also willing to travel to wherever you would like me to record if necessary.

I have had a lot of touring and recording experience as well as graduating at Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Performance.
I have performed for crowds up to 60,000 people. I've had the opportunity to share the stage with some of the greatest acts in Metal music along with some of the best musicians in the world and I know that I will make a great contribution to your record!

    Chris is an absolute beast on the drums! Chris played on four tracks I'd written years ago, and I was blown away by the results. Chris understood exactly what the song needed, staying true to the original ideas while adding his own flair and creativity. Having never used this site before, Chris was very helpful in guiding me through the process. I truly believe that Chris is one of the best drummers I have ever worked with. As long as he's not too busy, I'll keep coming back!

    Chris is a great musician to work with. Communicating with him was a breeze and he really cares about the end result. I reached out to him since we were in need of drummer for an upcoming metal project and he really delivered. It's nice to work with someone who understands song structure. Really talented individual that sounds like a drum-kit coming to life. We will definitely continue working with him. Highly suggested!

    Seriously amazing drummer. Besides incredible talent, Chris delivers freakin quick!!! He was very patient while I detailed what I needed and was very cool about it. 4 songs in 1 week -WOW!
    In the end, Chris gave me 100% what I asked - and even more! He tried a blast beat on part of my song I hadn't even consider - and now I can't hear the song without it.
    That's what you can expect. Professionalism, speed, precision, dedication to your project, and just all out cool dude.
    HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    My experience with Chris was great. I gave him scratch tracks with minimal notes and he knew exactly what the song needed and provided the drums in record time. I couldn’t be happier with the end result, Chris provided me with the polished professional sound I needed with zero effort. Hire him, you will not be disappointed!

    Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with!! He not only is a consummate professional but is an extraordinarily flawless player and I mean, FLAWLESS!! He delivers on whatever you ask and given creative freedom, he will absolutely bring your project to a new level!! I cannot say enough about Chris as a person and musician. My expectations were greatly exceeded and will be using Chris again. Do yourself a favor and hire Chris for your next project, if you don't you're really missing out!!

    Incredible drummer. I needed someone to record drums for 3 metal songs and Chris delivered flawlessly. He kept me updated as he was working on it and finished very quickly. If you need a technically proficient drummer who is professional, reliable, and quick, hire Chris.

    I've known Chris for a little while now and can safely tell you that not only is he a wonderful person, but a true professional at heart as well as a master of his craft. Very recently, I had hired him to do the session drums for my music project's upcoming record and I must say...the result was nothing short of terrifyingly phenomenal. It took him almost no time at all to learn all the material, and even less time to get it recorded. Furthermore, he did such a great job that there was absolutely no need for revisions or corrections on anything! I was truly blown away. -Jon Pyres
