In addition to his band credits, Brian stays busy as a session drummer for commercial clients including Mitsubishi, Ford, McDonalds, Hot Pockets and Dish Network. Chances are if you watch TV, go to the movies, or play video games chances are that you have already heard some of Brian’s work.

In July of 2000, Brian decided to build his own drum-tracking studio to advance his recording expertise and accommodate the increasing recording needs of local area musicians. The combination of teaching and recording with local songwriters had the studio humming day and night.

Brian soon realized that providing the service of professionally played and recorded drum tracks was something that was needed by musicians from al over. Thanks to the popularity of the Internet and the latest in digital recording technology, providing this service is easier than ever.
