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.

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.

“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!!!”

"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."

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.
