Danny Patterson

What can you expect from Danny if he sits in with your band or on your recording session? You will get a professional and easy going attitude. Being such an experienced drummer with genre and musical history knowledge, he can find ways to make your songs flow with ease and with finesse, playing the right drum part for your music. Danny has tons of experience playing to click tracks as well as MIDI in the studio as well as in live performances. If you need a little showmanship for your band's performance or from him, he can accommodate with that as well.

Danny has traveled to numerous cities in Texas (Austin, Borger, Dallas, El Paso, Harlingen, Hawkins, Kilgore, Luckenbach, Midland, Round Rock, San Antonio, Tyler as well as Houston) and to various states (Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) for sessions as well as live performances. If he has an opening in his calendar he is willing to travel (does have a valid/current passport) to help you out with your performance and/or recording session.

Danny can also do a Virtual Performance using Zoom, Facebook Live, Instagram, etc. Virtual performances can be Drum Lessons/Performance, Q&A sessions, or even Danny doing a solo showcase playing multiple instruments.

For most gigs/sessions, Danny will use his drums (unless an adequate set is provided). He own various sizes of drums & percussion instruments (see below for list) and can provide his own mics and/or mixer to send a line to your mixer.

If you tell Danny the type of music you're performing he can bring what he feels is the perfect size kit to the gig/session.

Danny is an artist/endorser of Salyers Percussion (drumsticks/mallets/brushes), SledgePad, The Drum Wallet, Motion-Pro Drum Thrones, Black Widow Drum Web, Impression Cymbals, TnR Products, Cympad, and Canopus Drum Accessories.
