| Donn impressed with your dedication and musicianship! You are on the cutting edge of where drumming is going! You "The site is excellent! I am so are setting a pace that will lead future drummers and inspire them for many years to come! Good luck and keep the passion burning!" Dom Famularo Drumming's Global Ambassador Onward and Upward.... Dom Famularo www.DomFamularo.com I have known Donn Garrett for about 6 years and have recorded a number of songs with him. I have been in music for 40+ years and have played with hundreds of drummers and I must say that Donn is the best drummer that I have ever played with. The most important aspect of any drummer that I look for is meter… the basics… if the meter is not solid the music suffers intensely. His meter is spot on and I know that I can throw any request at Donn, any weird beat or fill and he will pull it out of somewhere and it always comes out as I request. In short, he is a star on the rise. -Dennis Jackson – lead guitar “I always enjoyed sharing the stage and rockin out with Donnie-G whenever we’ ve played together. He’s easily one of the coolest (and funniest) cats in the local drumming community I’ve personally ever came across. I’d give him two thumbs up, an 8 on a 10 scale and highly recommended to anyone looking for a drummer…..or a comedian!!!” Andy Volmer Guitarist/Vocals HiWatt and Petty Thief "Donn is a killer drummer and a great guy...he played a 4-hour show for 200 people with my classic rock cover band with minimal rehearsal...plus he has a cartoon-like sense of humor....I highly recommend Donn as a drummer and singer." Gary Mullin Guitarist/keyboardist/ lead vocalist Beat Merchant and Grey Sky Fallin Donn Garrett's approach to drumming borders genius, is a culmination of intense years of practice, and brings unique example of natural meter in synch with mechanics of universal proportion. -Gerald Lee Ames |

I was recently asked about Donn Garrett and have to say he is one of the most versatile & talented drummers I've had the pleasure of knowing. Not only an outstanding drummer with a sense of style uniquely his own, but a well rounded musician who also plays guitar and can sing lead vocals and or backup. He's a musician who always brings his "A" game and a drummer that any band would be fortunate to have as their pulsing back beat. As a long time R&B drummer myself, I've known and met many drummers who play for the sake of having the spotlight shine solely on them versus the band as a whole....not Donn Garrett. Bringing energy, passion, input and chops to the mix, Donn Garrett has to be considered a true drummer's drummer.
