What People Are Saying
“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 (100M+ streams across streaming platforms)
“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 (MYA, Ruggero, Maria Becerra)
“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)
"I produce a lot of indie/Alt/country and I always recommend that my artists hire a real drummer for their tracks. With Tomás, the communication is always great and we really hone in on what the song and the production need in drumming terms, and then he sends extremely polished and elaborate drum & percussion tracks that just add so much life to the song and always make me look better. All of this to say, if you need drums for your next song I can’t recommend Tomás enough!"
Lucas Gienow; Producer & Mix Engineer (Nola Blue Records; Nearly York)
