"Jimi Englund is a dynamic and exciting drummer and has one of the great pockets of all time. His feel is impeccable and whether it's roots or Americana rock, or something funkier or on the creative or "world beat" side, he's always brought it big time. Most importantly he's one of the great guys and there's no one funnier on the planet!"
peter himmelman, Grammy nominated singer songwriter/ composer, 'Judging amy', 'bones'
"Three facts about Jimi: 1 - He's one of the best drummers in the world. 2 - He's the funniest guy you'll ever meet. 3 - When he brings his formidable talents to your project, he'll make you look a hundred times better than you actually are."
sheldon gomberg, Grammy winning Producer/Engineer/Bassist, Ricky lee Jones, Lucinda Williams, Ben Harper"You need drum tracks? Jimi Englund is your man! He's a badass with a great feel and touch! Do yourself a favor and give him a call."
frederik wiedmann, composer, 'green lantern: the animated series', 'beware the batman'
"Jimi is not only an awesome drummer and percussionist, he is also incredibly well equipped to record his drum kit and percussion instruments. I have used his services on many occasions and not once have I not been blown away by what I got back from his studio. Jimi just gets what you need, and he does a superb job adjusting to the current vibe and mockups. He's also super fast if need be, and the files he records are 100% solid. It's a real treat to get him to lay down tracks for you. Hands down bad-ass!".
steve edwards, tv and film composer, 'The mechanic', 'hellraiser: hellseeker', 'the patriot'"I've known Jimi for over 20 years and was glad when he got his online studio working. Now my whole manner of working has changed because I can do just 1 track without having to drag all his gear to my studio. The recordings are master quality and the process is seamless and quick. When he's available, he can sometimes deliver a track to me the same day at a reasonable cost. I look forward to many more collaborations."
dirk freymuth, guitarist/producer/professor, Kottonmouth kings, hindu rodeo
"When you add up all of Jimi's skills as drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, producer - then multiply that with his raw talent and boundless creativity - well, I'm not sure what you get exactly, but it's f#cking awesome. I've done records with more famous drummers than Jimi, but not better ones."
joel goodman, emmy-winning film and tv composer, 'being elmo', '30 for 30'
"7 years ago I did my first 'online session' with Jimi. I was living in NY at the time and Jimi was in LA. I was concerned about technical issues and creative issues - just about everything. It couldn't have gone more smoothly. The technical issues was a non-issue and Jimi sent back parts to me that I never even thought of. My biggest dilemma was in choosing what not to use. Jimi has great taste and time - everything you need from a top percussionist and drummer.""
adam gorgoni, tv and film composer, 'necessary roughness', 'the dead girl'"Jimi is more than just a fantastic drummer, he's a fantastic musician, and a pleasure to work with. He's creative, versatile, and FAST. And, most importantly, we always have a good time doing it. He also plays a mean shaker and other assorted percussion that can bring your grooves to life. I can't recommend him highly enough."
