A great musician is known by his game. Dennis Holt is the real professional. His playing was notable for its technical quality, great dynamic diversity, and tone of the drum set. If you want to release your production at the highest world class, he's the right person in the right place. I received all tracks recorded from a variety of microphones, including ambient and corridor which have added space and clarity. His technic is flawless. And I'm so happy that he's a part of this production.
