What People Are Saying
Tomas is super fun to work with. He brought incredible vibes to the album. He was really good at listening to what i want as a producer and strikes the perfect balance of bringing new ideas without ever overstepping. We had a great time the whole time and you should work with him!”
Katie Simpson; Singer/Songwriter & Producer (multi-genre indie folk/pop)
“Tomás is an exceptional drummer, mixer and collaborator. His samples for Make Pop Music are used on thousands of records, praised by top producers for tone, mix & grooves. Punctual, communicative, dedicated, second to none. Perfect for your project!”
Austin Hull; Producer & Mixer (Joan, Marc E. Bassy, Nightbreakers)
“Tomás is not only an amazing drummer but also a great producer. Every time I use him in my productions he sends me thoughtfully chosen sounds. Also I often request loops and samples from him to use as building blocks and they always work!”
Mateo Rodo; Latin-Grammy Nom. Producer & Mixer (Abel Pintos, Sylvestre y La Naranja, Indios)
Tomas plays killer drums and produces them with intention. Others cost me waste hours tweaking sounds & performances. I've got enough on my plate and his work makes my life a LOT easier. It helps shape the track with drop-in ready vibes that sit perfectly. That’s why I keep using him”
Dean McGinness; Composer & Producer (Bleeding Fingers, Apple, Netflix)
“Whenever I send a track to Tomas, it always comes back sounding better than I imagined. His production instincts always elevate the song & help me see the bigger picture of what it can become. I highly recommend Tomas for drums and additional production.”
Jon Heisserer; Platinum-Selling Producer (Ricky Montgomery, Hello Ground)
“Tomás instantly knew how to translate my ideas into a great drum part. With him taking care of all the logistics of performing and recording, getting great sounding drums was a quick, seamless experience."
Athenas;Latin-Grammy Nom. Worship Singer (300M+ streams across streaming platforms)
“Sometimes I run out of ideas for filling spaces or adding little details, so now you’ve given me a palette of different sounds that are really beautiful… it’s super helpful because now I can interact with other kinds of elements (custom made for this project) that I can play with!”
Tomás Iglesias; Producer & Mixer (Dharma & Flora, Pyura, Uma German)
“Tomas did a fantastic job of these drums! He pretty much nailed it the first take, and was happy to do some additional revisions to make it perfect. Tight playing and high quality recording. He also included some extra percussion and other ideas that I hadn't even asked for. Definitely above and beyond. Very highly recommended!."
Jordan Perry; Canadian Producer & Artist, JUNO Awards Judge
"In our work together Tomás has used drum programming, live drums, percussion and sound design in seamless ways and with equal fluency. What he adds to a project with this approach is a fully developed texture that definitely helps a track have its own sonic identity."
Santiago Baré; producer/session musician (Jac DeBaires)
"I've had the honor and privilege of working with Tomás as a drummer and a producer in recent years. His vast knowledge and growing experience in music production has given him a real edge as a studio musician. As a performer he makes mature decisions regarding his role within the context of a song making him a credit to any project. His skills as a drummer always shine through when building the rhythmic tapestry in any production."
David Moran; American Producer/Songwriter (The Castle Walls)
