Thomas Dennis Drums on SoundBetter

Professional and creative rock/metal drummer

Hello everyone,
My name is Dennis, and I am a professional drummer from Belgium. Drumming is my passion, and you can hear that in the tracks I've played. My strongest point is that I can be very creative with music. I can also collaborate very well with other musicians.
Would you like to talk about a collaboration? Or do you want me to record your track? Or perhaps you would like me to strengthen your band during a gig? Contact me.
The genre doesn't matter, because I like to play everything. Of course my main genre is rock and metal, but I also like to play pop music!
Do you want more information? Feel free to contact me everytime!

Interview with Thomas Dennis Drums

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: IMMUNITY FOR THE MASSES ! When Corona broke out, we wrote a song called ''Welcome To This Nightmare''. this song was all bout Covid. The best part ? We wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered and filmed this is only 4 days... That was insane, i'll tell you ;)
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm working on different things right now. Currently Immunity For The Masses is busy with making an album, so i will be playing the drums very soon. Also i'm busy with other recordings offcourse.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both...I used to work only digital but when i started to use analog, i realized what i missed in the past !
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started playing drums when I was 5. I played in a few bands where I gained a lot of experience. I always remained passionate about music. I have done a lot of studio work and I can safely say that I am very proud of that. At the age of 16 I started giving lessons. I still do this now. What I really want to achieve is that people are happy with what I have done for them and that I can make myself even more known. Turning your hobby into a profession is the best thing there is, isn't it?
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
