March 13, 2023Incredible
Couldn’t of imagined my Daughters party any better, the performance was amazing from beginning to end. Mats LED drum set up brought a new level of fun to the party. He interacted with the crowd on the dance floor. He was on point with the Dj on any music he through at him making an awesome hybrid performance.

Mat is such a phenomenal drummer and amazing person! He was able to chart all of his songs ahead of rehearsal and was ready to go! Incredibly professional, extremely talented, and just an awesome person to be around! If you're thinking about hiring Mat, do it immediately!

April 22, 2022Hire this guy !!!
Mat was superb! Arrived early, set up and could not be more cooperative and is truly a talented musician. We improvised with a Rapper that was truly remarkable and did some classic rock stuff off the cuff that was great. It was my birthday party and my musician friends and I all played with Mat and was tremendous. Total Pro!
