“Jeremy Hummel
is a triple threat. He has learned the art of groove
and ensemble playing combined with real chops as a drummer.
He is a rare find." -
David Bendeth Producer of top selling albums by Breaking
Benjamin, Vertical Horizon, Hawthorne Heights and others
"In the studio
session world, Jeremy is like a one stop shop. His groove
is impeccable, and he can play any style you throw at
him. I have yet to stump him with that. He also has a
huge vocabulary of music that he listens to which is
incredibly helpful when you are trying to suss out new
ideas. I guess some people enjoy editing drums....I don't.
I just call Jeremy, and it's done." - Bret Alexander Producer and Owner
of Saturation Acres Studio
“Jeremy Hummel is equal parts bombast and finesse.
He's just as likely to ride hard on his China as he is
to tap out an intricate riff on a 6" effects cymbal.
He's as interested in "bringing back the gong" as
he is in developing more finesse and subtlety on the kick
drum. But even with a casual listen, you can tell that
Hummel is a drummer's drummer, crafty and aggressive, but
never self-indulgent.” - Harriet Schwartz Author of
Fire and Finesse article that appeared in the Oct 2004
