"Russ Wilson is a fabulous drummer and a pleasure to work with. Any band would be lucky to have him!" 

"Russ Wilson is that rare thing, not only is he a drummer with unsurpassed technique but he also has great sensitivity.  These qualities are essential to work well in a Genesis tribute band. I have seen him play with several of the best Genesis tribute bands around and his underpinning is what holds it all together."

"Russ is one of the nicest guys and most reliable drummers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only does he have great ideas, he has a terrific overall sound and is so easy to work with, whilst making sessions fun at the same time. Super professional and creative, I would highly recommend Russ for pretty much any drum sessions that you can throw at him!"

“Russ is an exceptional drummer with the ability to offer live performances, studio sessions or remote recordings. Super efficient and with a quick turnaround for either WAV files, MIDI or both, Russ’s contribution to your project will take it to another level! Highly recommended!”

‘’Working on a recording project with Russ Wilson was one of the easiest things to do. Despite the complexity of the music that Russ was asked to record, he did it with such ease and professionalism; he delivered some truly magnificent performances! All this done remotely because of lockdown. Russ Wilson is a fantastic talent, a true gent and truly one of the nicest guys in the business! He did exactly what was required to make the music come alive, and man can this guy play!! He can send WAV files and MIDI files of his playing if required. If you require a drummer who can play great Rock, Progressive Rock or Jazz fusion - Russ is without doubt the man for the job and his rates are very reasonable...you will not be disappointed!”  

“Over the years I’ve worked with many artists, bands and drummers. Being a drummer myself I must admit they’re a special kind of people. Of all the drummers I have worked with, Russ Wilson is one of the most skilled and also one of the nicest. His technique is phenomenal and so is his fantastic musicality (and that isn’t always the case with other drummers). Besides that, his work ethics are the ones you want when you hire a drummer. He is a ‘gear head’ in a good way; he knows his stuff and comes prepared.
I wish I had a Russ as my teacher when I was a young guy. I would have been so much better than I am now. Russ is good and a joy to work with! Period!” 

“I have known Russ for a number of years through promoting concerts by various bands he has been playing drums for. His performance is always excellent and his attitude is 100% professional. It is a real pleasure to work with him.”
