“The Drummer’s Toolbox has given us an endless amount of options to build creative ideas in so many drumming styles. Brandon has given all of us new ways of learning and different ways to think about how we can approach the drum-set. For that, I thank him very much.”

“I am floored. The Drummer’s Toolbox is one of the most unique and comprehensive texts out there on drumming styles. It’s not simply a book of basic styles. Brandon has instead gone ‘to the streets’ if you will and really dug deep to get to the heart of each of these grooves and styles. The depth is reflected in the work. Highly recommend.”
