May 23, 2021I booked Scott for a drum part for a cover that I did and it was an immense pleasure working with him. He was punctual, came well-prepared, and nailed his part with just a few takes. I had a ton of fun collaborating with him and will definitely be in correspondence with him for any future drumming parts that I might need.
