What Our Happy Clients Have to Say

“Tony did a wonderful job for me and has also impressed the people that I have recommended him to.”

– Richard Dodd, Producer/Mastering Engineer (Tom Petty, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride)

“I have had the pleasure of working with Tony Morra over the past 15 or so years. Besides being an incredible drummer Tony is a great guy to have in your session. He is New York through and through and his personality is like no other’s. He has great ideas for each song he plays on and he knows what to play for each and any song. I’ve recorded Tony in both commercial facilities and in his home studio. I am here to tell you that the sounds that he has in his home studio rival some of the commercial studios that I have worked in over the years. He has great gear and his drums sounds great. He also has plenty of room to include several other musicians and it’s a great place to record both demos and masters. In these days when budgets are tight Tony can accommodate any and all projects. Through technology you can just send Tony files through the internet and he can put drums on your tracks. This is great for people who are out of state who want a drummer of Tony’s caliber. He will supply you with what you need and no doubt you will be extremely satisfied. Keep it real. Don’t use machines. Use the real deal. Tony Morra is the real deal!”

– Steve Marcantonio, Engineer/Producer (Taylor Swift, Jewel, Blake Shelton, Heart, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Big & Rich, Kellie Pickler, Kelly Clarkson, Kenny Chesney, Lionel Richie, The Band Perry)

“I have been using Tony for my drum tracks for the last 5 years. I have put him on probably 50 songs. Not only is he an amazing drummer, but he is a total pro and a lot of fun to work with! He has taken the time to dial his drum sounds to the point where I just load them in and they sound like they were recorded in an amazing giant analog studio. I recommend him without hesitation for any session, any style!!”

– Paul Taylor (Alice Cooper, Steve Perry, Winger, Cinderella, Tommy Shaw)

“Tony is my number one guy when it comes to getting world class drummer performance, amazing drum sounds at a very reasonable rate. I have never had a single issue with getting the tracks with ease and very quick turnaround. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s one of the nicest guys in the business!”

– Billy Alexander, Songwriter/Producer/Guitarist

“Great room, great vibe, great drummer, great sounds, and a great hang!”

“Even though i am a guitar player i am also a song writer and producer so for me a song is built around the drums!!! If you can’t feel safe with the drummers beat and groove the song isn’t gonna happen. Anthony will get you that security you need…simple as that!”

Top that off with his dynamic musicianship, wide palette of sounds and positive attitude, and you have an high quality product and experience.”

-Rich Redmond, Drummer (Jason Aldean)/ Producer(Thompson Square)/Speaker
