"Tom is the best drummer I've worked with. [He is] dynamic.....with a perfect meter."

John Hannon - Producer

"I have worked with Tom on a number of projects, both live and recording. He has a great approach to drumming and is a very reliable and hard working musician."

Alan Bleay - MD, Arclite Productions

"I asked Tom to work with my band last year because we needed a drummer that could pick up the set list quickly and deliver a professional performance with only one rehearsal. The whole band loved playing with Tom. As well as being a brilliant drummer and musician, he is easy going and a pleasure to work with. On the night Tom's performance was flawless and he made a huge difference to the quality of the music."
