He was a delight to work with. Super friendly and communicative. His playing was even better. He honored my ideas, requests and added in a little bit of his flavor and style. He added in a groove and raw human quality a computer could never replicate.

I highly recommend James. Brillant drummer, very polite, professional and worked very hard to understand what I was asking for and what the song needed. He sent me 3 takes and they are all amazing, so now I have this very "big problem" in my hands: which one to choose. I really hope to have this "problem" again.
