"Not overplaying, but giving the song what it needs"

reviews





"I met Dan Anthony just a few years back at a men's conference when I was called at the last minute to help out because of illness to the worship leader. Dan was the drummer that weekend and I was 'blown away' by the level of his talent. That weekend began a relationship in worship music that carries on to this day. -- I am almost 70 years old and have had a long and 'storied' career in music, most of which took place in the secular world. During that time, I had the honor of working with what are considered some of the best drummers of their era. Having that as a basis of comparison, Dan measures up to their level.  Looking ahead, I sincerely hope that I am able to continue to work with Dan as we go forward in advancing the Kingdom."

"Dan was a pleasure to record and perform with. He was always eager to learn new material, and had a great feel for what I was trying to accomplish with each song. He's a professional through and through and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a drummer on the stage or in the studio."  ~Andrew Seistrup





"Over the years I've played with many drummers!  Most recently Dan Anthony has been behind the kit most regularly.  Dan is not only a great player, he is the kind of bandmate whose positive attitude and great sense of humor make him a   pleasure to share the stage with. We often remind ourselves that in a band, "The drummer drives the bus! Dan is a great driver, refreshingly avoiding overplaying but always bringing the song what it needs!  One thing I especially appreciate is Dan's strong sense of time!  He never drags or rushes! Also He has a great memory for song arrangements!  I can't recommend Dan Anthony to you more strongly!  He will deliver the kind of results you're looking for on the stage or in the studio."  ~Stephen Anderson




"At Independant Drums, you will get the most professional service and drum work available online from a musician who puts care and effort into each work he completes. Dan Anthony is a marvel of the internet age and very easy to work with. He understands what tracks need and gives special attention and nuance to his work. I found Dan to be the best remote musician on the web from my experiences putting together free and for profit collaborations and remote emailing of tracks. Dan produces high quality samples of professional grade and comes up with unique lines and patterns to accentuate the need for original work with style. He works quickly and has a great attitude, he helped me on numerous songs at a price that worked for both of us and I guarantee I will consult him for services again in the future."  ~Danny Hauger





"Dan, is an amazing drummer. I love working with him because he brings his perspective and giftedness as a musician, and pushes the creative 
edges of the work we do, resulting in new sounds and ideas. Dan also knows how to play within the limits of the music and is willing to take direction and try new things. He is always looking for ways to play to what the music needs and bring creativity and excellence to the track. Dan is a very musical 
drummer, able to pick up on cues and play in harmony with the rest of the ensemble. I highly recommend him."  ~Nate Macy
