Endorse Trevor Lawrence Jr.
  1. Review by Mike Elizondo
    starstarstarstarstar
    by Mike Elizondo

    Trevor Lawrence is a beast! I've had the pleasure of working with him for almost 30 years and he is always discovering new ways to create. As a drummer and programmer no one can touch his versatility and authenticity. Adding Trevor to any musical situation will only improve the end result. You won't be disappointed.

    by Mark Batson

    Trevor Lawrence is the consummate artistic professional. His range is extremely broad and covers hip hop drumming, old school funk, jazz, latin or anything else you can imagine. He is always on time, extremely professional and friendly with everyone which makes the work flow that much easier. He also can double on keys/beats or percussion.
