RECENT recording Client testimonials—
“When it comes to both studio and live drumming, you'd be hard pressed to find other players more dedicated, musical, knowledgeable, and generally wonderful to work with than Alex Johnson. Not only does he communicate well both in person and online, he's got great gear and is able to provide multiple approaches and production ideas from a drum/percussion and engineering perspective, all of which adds up to a truly professional experience. All that to say, if you hire Alex for your drum and percussion needs, you'll be happy with the end result!”

Hunter Stone
“Alex starts the process off right with quality communication. He's genuinely excited to be a part of your music and it shows in his performance. Listening back to tracks, it feels like we were playing in the same room together. That's the magic you need to make a record sound like a record.”
—Hunter Stone | Solo Artist, Famous Men
“Can't say enough good things about Alex— whether it be his musicianship, creativity, work ethic, professionalism, producing skills...the list goes on. I'm not a drummer, but had a pretty good idea of what I wanted for a couple tracks. Alex spent time with me over Zoom to understand, in depth, my vision for each track; he took detailed notes bar by bar and was able to efficiently and creatively translate that vision into high-quality drum tracks that exceeded my expectations—both from a performance and tonality perspective. I'll be working with Alex again, and you should too. Highly recommend.”
—Luke Booth | Solo Artist

“Skill, turnaround time and attention to detail set Alex apart from the numerous drum individuals I've worked with in the past for projects. Not only is Alex extremely skilled in tracking high quality cuts for a diverse range of musical styles, his attention to detail, communication and turnaround time is so greatly appreciated when planning a big release. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for the highest quality drum tracks.”

The Sweet Lillies
“We had a really great experience working with Alex in the studio. Alex learned all pieces on the spot and was able to accomplish everything in a minimal amount of takes. He was professional and respectful towards all artists, the engineer and the producer. We truly appreciated his punctuality and diligent work ethic. Besides being a highly skilled drummer, Alex was easy to communicate with as well as being highly receptive to input from artists and the producer. We would readily hire Alex again and would recommend him for hire to any professional band in need of a great drummer.”
