    "I first saw this drummer perform for a show that took place in march and was instantly moved by the surreal sound of his drumming. His talent brought out excitement out of everyone one and he made the show a success. I can definitely say that he is a drummer to keep an eye on 😉"

    "Fantastic drummer who is also very sensitive to the event. We had him as part of the jazz quartet for cocktail hour and he was superb! Highly recommend him!!!"

    "Robert was awesome on every level. I really appreciated his solid drumming skills and the sounds. Normally I’m annoyed by drummers - Simply because they’re too loud. But Robert was better than that! And the percussion foundation he played for both rehearsals and the show was off the charts! Robert was professional, timely, hard working and clear in his communication. Most of my songs were pop. 1 tune was more alternative rock. He toggled between the styles easily, kept a steady beat, established good tempos & always with a supportive attitude. I would highly recommend him for any band or musician in need of a drummer."

    "What a fabulous edition Julius was to our community family day. His laid back tunes and silky soft voice was perfect for our afternoon. I will definitely book him again and would 100% recommend him for any event. Thanks again Julius."

    "Chris - I freaking love it. Literally was sitting in a doctor's office and started involuntarily smiling and dancing in my seat during your first drum fill. I think you get what I'm looking for, I'm really happy. I love that you're doing your own thing while also fitting inside and amplifying the groove I'm trying to get at. Many many thanks! You're a terrific drummer!"
