Yes he's a beast, but he's a jazz, fusion and new orleans drummer, and wouldn't touch a double pedal if I had to guess.

He might not need a second pedal. Versatile enough stylistically to be gigging with Steely Dan, Sting, John Mayer, James Taylor. I don't suspect he'd have any trouble with thrashing out rock beats.

Jerry Roe just moved back to Nashville......sucks for us in L.A. ..... great for you Nashville guys .
He can bash!!, but can also play soft when needed. Great player, and a solid dude

Fred is all about attention to detail, and if you are clear on where you're trying to get acoustically, he and his fully loaded SSL 9080 K console will get you there. There are certainly studios in Nashville that are more funky/sketchy/whatever, but if you want a good-sized live room that is seriously quiet, a control room with huge bass response (he has subs under each of his Dynaudio M4 mains) and one of the cleanest, biggest, and last SSL 9000 K consoles ever made, Paragon's got it. The studio is also very cartage-friendly. Definitely worth a trip to the far side of town to see it.

I Agree. I did an internship out there a while back. Take a tour...

And his dad Dave is one of the best bass players in town. I've done a lot
of sessions with Dave but had him in the studio with Jerry a year or so ago and it was a treat to see them work together.

I'd highly recommend Jerry.

Sounds like for what you want, Miles McPherson would be a great choice. Someone mentioned him already. He's killer. If you need his contact info, PM me.

Nir Z. I'm sad that he moved from NYC, as he was a first call for hard hitting Rock drums at my place. Monster with fabulous time and very inventive ideas, just a super musical player. Played with Genesis when he was 18 I believe, recorded a Chris Cornell record for a couple of things. He's a bad man. And I've recorded Keith a number of times. Also, one of my favorite cats and another one of the best drummers I've recorded/played with. Funny, those two dudes were A list top calls here and they've both moved to Nashvegas! Miss having those guys around to call. (Though Keith does spend a good deal of time in NYC).

Best,
