“He has become sought after not only as a session drummer, but an artist who can creatively bring something unique to the table. ”
“Ege Bamyasi-centric percussion, courtesy of session drummer Dan Drohan, keeps everything moving, giving songs like “Common Ground” and “Takes One To Know One” the constant, pastoral shuffle of the last OCS record -gentle, perpetual motion with the pacifying effect of a long Amtrak ride through the countryside.” ”
“Dan Drohan and Jeff Fettig, the producers that I worked with on this EP are pretty genius and were able to take my initial ideas and elevate everything up a level.” ”
