This was my 2nd time working with Hugo and won't be my last by far! Great drummer, fast turnaround, and very professional! Can't wait to work together again!

Hugo must have a Tesla battery tucked away Iron Man style, because he is a MACHINE in the best way possible. Need groove? Got it. Need epic metal drums? Of course. Go go Hugo!

THE GOAT!

I was recommended Hugo by a friend and client of mine while looking for a drummer who’d be capable of tracking progressive rock tracks, and Hugo absolutely blew me away. I was shocked by how accurately he recreated what I wrote for him, and not only that, but he improved it. His kit also sounds phenomenal, especially the snare. Can’t recommend him enough!

Hugo is the best! I have hired him many times and hope to continue to do so!

What a drummer! Incredible technique and great understanding of music! Can't wait for more!

Killin it! As always!

Hugo nailed it on the first take. Super profesional, powerful drumming, great sound and really fast delivery. 100% recommended.

He always delivers professional work. He is able to accomodate video production and recordings as well. Top notch musician highly recommended.

Second time working with Hugo - another set of astounding drum tracks that required no changes. FIVE ROCKING STARS!!

This Mofo plays his ass off and sounds excellent! Definitely worth hiring!!!

EXCELLENT

Hugo is an awesome musician and as professional as one can find. He is a killer drummer with a profound sense of musicality. Besides that he’s a very humble down to Earth guy. Absolutely loved working with him, having his musicianship on my songs and his heart and mindset on my album. Cheers

Another brilliant drum composition by Hugo!!! He never disappoints and cannot say enough about how great it has been to work with him.

Awesome awesome! Great player and great to work with! Would definitely work with him again! You should too!

Hugo was really easy going. I asked for four to floor dance/pop drums and he executed them perfectly. Five out of five stars for sure.

Another perfect tracks played by the one and only Hugo, THX more to come soon.

Like always, Hugo did an outstanding job.
So happy with the drums.
Hugo lifts your song to the next level

Absolutely love working with Hugo, he brings exceptional experience, produces great results, and fantastic at bringing your recommendations to life!

Another one in the books with a real pro!

Hugo is an amazing drummer! He gets the feel for a song and takes it to a higher level. I am so impressed!

I go to Hugo for because I know that I will be getting some awesome sounding drums!

Perfection, consistency, precision and power.

Excellent as always!

Hugo is not just a musician, he's a magician, with an impeccable sense of timing and control. He took my songs - my drum-machined automatons - and gave them life and personalities. I couldn't be happier with the results.

I used Hugo for my latest black metal album. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. He got the drums just right, first time, every time for me. Highly recommend to everyone!

Hugo did a fantastic job yet again. The best session drummer you'll find!

Love working with Hugo! Always pro quality, tight playing, and brings out the best in the songs.

Hugo did an amazing job as usual. He followed my guide drums but is also able to suggest his own small changes to the drum patterns so that they are a better fit for the music.

Fourth time working with Hugo and I'm really happy with the results again. High quality drum recordings, drum patterns that fit the music perfectly, and delivered in a fast and timely manner. Highly recommended!

Consistently produces amazing sounding drums that are a perfect match for the songs provided!

Third time working with Hugo. Sent him my guitar tracks with a simple vocal melody and some really boring, old drum machine loops. He turned it into an EPIC! He made it dynamic and exciting. Something I will be honored to release on my next single. When people ask about the jaw-dropping drum track on my singles, I always refer them to Hugo. I consider myself so lucky to be able to work with Hugo. He is a world-class musician and his work and dedication to your project will show that.

Easy to work with and the stereo mix provided is of a high quality too.

Hugo did perfect for our song.
The played it just like we wanted it to be played.
Also very nice communication! The sound of his drums is very good!

Hugo was the perfect drummer for this project! I needed a classic metal swing style like Cozy Powell or Ian Paice, and Hugo delivered first take!

Excellent fills and sense of the song. Worked fast and very efficient. Very friendly and easy to work with. A pleasure. Highly recommended!

Great communication and delivered exactly what I wanted. Recordings are all high quality and recorded to a professional standard. Highly recommended!

Excellent drummer, would definitely use Hugo again

So I was looking fo a drummer with that special attiude and found it in Hugo
If you are looking for a top drummer, I can highly recommend Hugo

I have always had the luxury of playing with a great drummer so had pretty high standards when I came across Hugo. Well, he lived up to my expectations and more, he took a guitar concept and recorded drums for what you would expect from a great drummer, accenting where necessary, playing drum patterns that fit the different parts of your song, and has what I refer to as the mind for music. Very pleased overall and would definitely consider again.

Hugo is the real deal. Quick turnaround, good communication and smokin' drum tracks!

Excellent drumming every time! Search for Fate’s Frontier on Spotify or Apple Music to hear what we’ve been up to!

We worked with Hugo Ribeiro on several tracks on our album project now and he is nothing but extremely professional, creative and reliable. This time he played a classic European power metal song and the drumming has so much quality: fast paced, groovy and great sounding. His tracks are also very well organized. Great guy! Great drummer! Use him if you have the chance to do so!

Excellence! Hugo delivered again. There is a reason he's in high demand and has so many returning clients! He ALWAYS delivers what you're looking for. This is the man for your next song!

I have worked with Hugo before and I must say it is an absolute honour to have him drumming on our songs! This time I threw at him a 13-minute long progressive metal song with twist and turns all over the place and it just sounds like a millon dollars. The song is part of a project where we pay tribute to different subgenres of heavy metal and he nailed them all to perfection! Groovy, technical, professional, versatile... I highly recommend him for any project you have in mind. Kudos!

Hugo was fantastic. He established a timeline and stuck to it. Only needed one revision... if you have a good prompt for Hugo with what you're going for on the song, he'll give you what you want while adding a creative element that surprises you in a great way. Will definitely use Hugo again on more projects!

Doing the second track with Hugo. He's amazing. Strongly recommend.

really gave me what I needed to get my track to the next level :) top notch stuff

As usual, excellent drumming, composition and recording from Hugo. A lot of extremely technically talented drummers, in my experience, tend to overplay and show off, but Hugo strikes a great balance between playing for the song and keeping the parts interesting. I found the perfect drummer for my style, he just happens to be across an ocean :)

Always high quality drum tracks from Hugo!!

Hugo is a “natural” in the sense that his drums feel right at home in any genre I’ve sent him - basic rock, progressive metal, ballads, you name it. He can play as complicated or as simple as you need - I personally leave most of those choices to him as he has excellent taste in parts and structure

Wow...
What a Drummer,what a crazy feel!
Hugo was very quick through the whole procedure and the result was superb.
I will definitely work again with you dude, thanks a lot!
Cheers

Working with Hugo is a very smooth and professional experience! He is very talented and delivers very high quality stems. I will continue to use Hugo as my main drummer for my mixes and I recommend him and his services to anyone.

Hugo always does an excellent job on drum performance, composition and recording. Highly recommended!

Hugo is a master drummer - sounding excellent in all genres. Fast metal. emotional rock ballads, punk rock, you name it.

Hugo is always full of musical surprises while always nailing it!

As always, excellent work from Hugo!

Galloping or grooving, Hugo is your man!

Great drummer, writer and recording - Hugo is the full package!

5 stars!

another song that has exceed expectations!

I never would have imagined I would find one of the world's premier drummers on this site, but that's exactly what Hugo is - professional and excellent!

Hugo's new studio has made his already great recordings even better!

11 STARS FOR HUGO!

Love Hugo’s playing and new studio!

The only thing that could have made this experience any better is if we were in the studio in the early 90s with Bob Rock!

Top-notch drummer, professional, talented, fast and highly skilled. Recommended

I had so much fun working with Hugo, it's almost a pitty that this was my last song. True professional, and delivers exactly what he's selling: kick-ass multi-tracks drums.

Hugo just delivered the final track of the record and looking back, I didn't think it was going to be easy to find the right drummer for the job. A lot was riding on him and he has done a spectacular job with it. One of the most top notch drummers I've worked with.

Awesome man, great drummer!

Hugo exceeded my expectations. The drum patterns were outstanding and the stems were very very clean and properly gain staged. I will be using Hugo for my future songs as an independent artist it is great to be able to obtain solid drum tracks.

Very professional, high quality, delivers mostly within a week and tight as a whistle. 5 stars.

What can i say that i haven't said before? :) Just hire the guy if you're looking for a solid rock/metal drummer.

Second song i did with Hugo. He always tries to improve the parts you sent him and add a personal touch. And if you still want revisions he only needs very little direction to get you your bang for a buck (no pun intended). I worked with other drummers before, and it's very rare that someone exactly understands what you want with so little communication.

5 out of 5. Hugo puts in the extra mile in his work. Very consistent, not afraid to suggest changes and an end result that's better than i hoped for or expected.

This song was more an AOR straight forward song and as always, Hugo delivers with his playing and ideas 1000%, Thx the next song is in progress my friend

Hugo has finished my second song out of three. What can I say, he did a fantastic job! This particular song was pretty complicated, but Hugo had no problem memorizing all the parts and performing them exactly to my liking. So far, I'm very impressed with what Hugo has delivered. Can't wait to hear what he comes up with for my next song!

Working with Hugo was as advertised but better! I received the tracks even faster than I expected with fantastic quality. I would recommend him to anyone and I look forward to working with him again in the future!

10 Stars there is nothing more to say, speechless, perfect feeling for the song, you did it again THX THX THX "Chapeau!"

Hugo is the man period. Awesome work. I will be requesting his assistance again in the future.

First time to do a ballad with Hugo, and...............as always he nailed it again and again, its a pleasure to work with him, uncomplicated professional Drummer and friend, THX Hugo

This is the second time for us to hire Hugo to put drums on tracks. Just as before...He did an awesome job! I am usually pretty picky about what a drummer adds to our songs, but knowing Hugos ability and His performance choices, I told Him to do what felt natural to the song confident that He would feel it properly, and indeed He did. It only took one take for Him! Great guy and excellent drummer. He's your man! He certainly will be ours again and again.

Hugo is a highly skilled drummer and great person to work with. I gave him a fairly difficult song to learn on drums and he nailed it. He even added a few of his ideas to my song. Some of them I kept, and for the others I wanted revised, he had absolutely no problem accommodating me and did so in a timely manner. I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of my songs he’s currently working on!

Hugo delivers always state of the art Drumtracks, fast or slow songs he has the feeling and understanding of the song. I would not recommend him, (kidding) because than he will get too much jobs and there will be no time to record our songs !!!!!! You are the machine big THX

Hugo is an awesome drummer and very easy to work with. The return time was quick and accurate! He knew exactly what the songs needed and played accordingly. We are VERY pleased with his performance. Huge thanks to Hugo for his professional work!

Hugo's tagline "Kick Ass Multi Track Drums" is exactly what he delivers - every time! Hire him with confidence, he is a wizard at metal and rock drums.

Hugo was a pleasure to work with! Completely professional and gave an outstanding performance. Able to lay down tracks with odd time signatures and a lot of changes. Would definitely work with him again.

Hugo is a groove machine that always knows the right part to play!

Hugo is my go-to-guy for rock and metal drums, he is a wizard!

Hugo can do it all! Amazing complex beats like many famous drummers but with additional subtle details that don't usually come from modern hard rock drummers! If you are looking for the best professionalism, quality of sound, brilliant drum compositions and all round grand service, you have found your man.

Highly recommended!

Its always a pleasure working with Hugo. An amazing drummer, very efficient and always gives it a 100%, never any quibbles on revisions focusing on what's needed for the song at all times.

Hugo has as always delivered massive Drums, he is the NO1 Drummer ! What starts as a project leads with his Drums to a great Album, he is not only someone he plays perfect Drums, I can now call him friend, THX Hugo

Hugo is the best drummer! He surprised you every time!

Fast as............ give always the song what he needs, perfect its a pleasure to work with him. There will be a lot more songs to do and no question Hugo is the man, Thx

People argue that MIDI drum software is all you need these days. I agree MIDI Drums have their place for composition purposes. But.... With Drummers like Hugo out there with such style and brilliant human technique and studio quality sound, when it comes to bonefide recordings you can be proud of, Hugo you can trust. Brilliant work again! Track 9!!!

Hugo always seems to know when to keep it simple and when to make it complex. That's rare to find in a musician of his talent, most of them want to show off all the time. Hugo finds the right balance of having impressive parts but ultimately serving the song. 5 Stars!

You can throw pretty much anything at Hugo and he always excels. Excellent drummer, writing and overall dude!

What can I say?? Heart, Soul and passion in every beat, he delivers more than just Drumtracks, its the 3 song and he delivers and delivers, MATE you are the machine, THX, ( We have another 10 to go !!!)

Awesome drums yet again!

The 2nd song with Hugo, cant wait to do all the other tracks, perfect Rockdrummer with the feeling of playing whats perfect for the song. Thanks Hugo

The final result, performance and ease of working with Hugo cannot be understated!

Hugo is a one of a kind drummer and created his part in perfect manner, fast and uncompliated. There is no question about who will play the full Album, THX HUGO

Hogo is my favorite drummer. I had the pleasure of working with him on all of my album tracks. His recordings are perfect and full of creativity and spot on all the time. Highly recommended.

Excellent drums - recording quality, playing and feel!!

Smashed it in 1 take! God Damn Electric!

Hugo is the man! I had an extremely fast and difficult arrangement that needed the flair and excitement of a pro on drums. Hugo absolutely delivered! He was up for a challenge, but he made it seem effortless! He added his own touch and skill to my song and made it feel more organic and original! I will definitely be utilizing Hugo's services for future projects! YOU SHOULD TOO!

Hugo sets the standard for studio drummers. I never have to worry if my tracks will turn out good, they are always great!

Hugo is always willing to work to any requirements I may have. This along with his spectacular service is why I continue to come back again and again.

When I listened to his portfolio I understood that he is the right guy for my track, and definitely, he has done a great job.
I would love to work with him again.

I would highly recommend him.

Great drummer with excellent timing and attention to detail!

Top notch drummer!! Will 'definitely' be working with Hugo again in the future - thoroughly recommend!!

If I had have found Hugo as a teenager, we would have toured the world 5 times over by now! What a gun!

Hugo is a dream to work with. Not only is he creative and professional, but also someone who loves what he does. Hugo played drums on my latest project and absolutely crushed it. He was willing to experiment and break some rules in the process. Hire him and see the Hugo magic on your track.

Another great job by Hugo - he always does great work. Total pro! I'd go into more detail but you can read my various other reviews :)

Hugo strikes again with beats hand delivered by Satan himself!

Hugo is a really a talented drummer who not only has a great sense of timing and groove but also is very quick to respond to requests. It's incredibly hard to find someone who is a true artist and a professional as well. Hugo is both!

Hugo performs at a pro level each and every song. You won't find a more talented drummer!

Hugo never disappoints! Hire with confidence!

What a Beast! This guy can do anything!

Hugo is a top notch drummer and always does an amazing job!

Hugo, feels your track and makes it sound rich. He is extremely helpful and great to work with. This was my second track with him and I have already sent him my third. I would highly recommend Hugo.

I sent Hugo a somewhat long and complex drum part and asked him to recreate it (but better) and he did exactly that. His attention to detail is top notch! very happy

My second experience with Hugo. Another job well done. Hugos ability to interpret ideas makes him so easy to work with. Really enjoying working with him.

Hugo nails it every time! Great playing, great feel, great drummer!

Fantastic work and no surprises because Hugo's an absolute pro

Hugo brought so much life to my songs and he gave the songs exactly what it needed! I found the drummer for my future songs.

Really great! Not only Hugos drumming but his ability to interpret ideas into reality. So important when trying to express your vision into text. Great Job! Very impressed! 12 Raw files for me to mix with is also on point ;)

Every drum track I've received from Hugo has one thing in common: they all sound like they could be on major national releases. Well composed, played and recorded. Another great experience. Cheers!

Hugo is an incredible drummer who has fantastic timing and skill!

Another great drum track he just delivered. If you looking for a killer drum track he is the man!

Once again he delivered amazing drum track! The next project is started!
