Joe's creativity and ability to recreate electronic and synthesized sounds with acoustic drums is a huge plus. Most importantly, he's simply great to be around!"

"Joe created drum tracks for my pre-production recordings. Because of the Pandemic, we had to mostly share our ideas / work virtually at first. And... This way of working was really quite challenging at times! But, he was always very patient & encouraging with me. We did eventually end up recording together at a couple of different recording studios in Maine and that was a lot of fun! Joe was always professional with me and really such a joy to work with. What I love most about Joe is how sensitive of a player he is... that's what truly sold me. I hope I get the chance to work with him again in the near future. I really enjoyed our musicianship & our recording time together. "
