I first worked with Thom in 2011, when the band I was in found ourselves without a drummer right before a recording session. With just a week to go, Thom not only learned all the drum parts to an entire album, but recorded them quickly, efficiently and with style. As a bass player, I can confirm that in the studio, he was a consummate professional and a joy to work with, steadying the ship at a difficult time while helping our cherished songs to reach their full potential. He soon became an integral member of that band, and a great friend to boot.

Fast forward to the present day, and when a project I was working on required remote drums to be recorded, Thom was our first choice by a country mile. We’d never had drums recorded remotely before, but Thom made the process incredibly simple and slick.

All of us - including both the songwriter and the producer of the record - commented on the impeccable audio quality of the recording which we received. The turnaround was quick, and Thom’s communication was fantastic throughout.

From a musical perspective, Thom is a humble and faithful servant of the music, and never takes centre stage on a song unless asked to. We were deeply impressed (but not at all surprised) at how sensitive Thom was to the mood and meaning of the song, and the extent to which he played only to help the songwriter convey that to the audience. We didn’t just get two fantastic drum tracks; we got a lesson in what it means to be a musician, too. I can only hope that we all get to work with him again in the future.

Thom played drums on 2 punk songs of mine (165 & 120 bpm). With just one email about the songs/inspiration and the tempo he came back with exactly the right beat and fills between the different sections of the song. His first pass was pretty much bang on on both tracks, but he asked what I’d like different and he went away and delivered. Everything was done remotely which I was a first for me and Thom made it so easy.

I can’t recommend his playing enough. There are not many session drummers out their whole have as many gigs under their belt as Thom and that practical playing as if it were live gives an organic energy to the playing which is great for the listener.

In short, I chose Thom because he can play many styles, he’s reliable and a bloody good drummer.

Thom done an excellent job on the drums for 2 tracks I recorded last year. One of the best things was the communication and patience, and Thom has bucket loads on top of his versatility and experience at tracking drums. A collaborative process that was easy and quick. Thanks! I can highly recommend using Thom for your recordings.

Thom has done an excellent job providing drums on several tracks that I was producing and mixing for various clients. I felt confident recommending him and his services and wasn't disappointed! He goes the extra mile with his approach and has been very patient when revisions have been needed. Looking forward to working with him again soon. Would definitely recommend if you're in need of classy, vibey, song-focused and inventive drums on your song!

Thom recording drums for my song was a great experience. The drumming he sent back was so creative and fitting to my music. It was perfectly recorded and his communication and tracks were sent back very quickly. It really took my song to another level and I look forward to working with him again.
