Just worked with Tommy a couple weeks ago. A great player and person. And very helpful with guys like me that don't work in the studio everyday. Very possibly the best drummer I was privileged to work with. What a shock. Rest well my friend.

As a producer, Tommy was one of my first calls. If he wasn’t available, I would move my session date to match his schedule. He was a great drummer and musician, and a warm wonderful guy. He will be sorely missed. My condolence’s to his family.

Still in shock over this. A photo from the last session I did with Tommy. Just a week before his death.
