"I have had the pleasure of working with Stu Murray and he was absolutely top notch! Completely organized, professional, and a joy to be around! I would work with him again in a heartbeat..."

-Mike Portnoy

"I brought Stuart down, honestly 'cause I knew he would be able to capture the essence of it better then I could have. I'm a real 'boom chuck meat and potatoes' kind of drummer, and he's got more skill. I really wanted to make sure it was solid, and it really came together the way I could hear it and envision it."

-Corey Taylor

interview from 'merry Xm@s' session.

"Stuart Murray is of the highest caliber in all aspects of being a drum technician. From achieving the best drum sounds, for a high intensity band such as Slipknot, to being the most determined hard worker, Stu has it all. A great friend, and definitely the guy you want in your corner. It's a total pleasure working with him!"

-Jay Weinberg

Slipknot

"Stuart Murray is definitely, hands down, one of THE best drum technicians around. He makes my drums sound absolutely stellar. He has the best technique in my opinion and has showed me other ways to achieving the best tune for my drums. An amazing person, a team player with great positive energy. He is the first person I call."

-Roy Mayorga
