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!

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

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?
A: Yes there is... Lita Turner. A female singer from The Netherlands who's living in Belgium now.
