  1. You might not know this is been knowing you for years. I’d did tour’s for years myself I’ve studied and watch you play with the best of them. Sometime I am a session drummer to. I also played over in Nashville Tennessee studio myself sometimes. You’re a good friend and drummer. Keep in touch and keep them drum’s rocking.

  3. Hello Paul,
    For the past 35 years I have been listening to Amy Grant’s album “Unguarded”. As a drummer myself, I have always been impressed by how clean and precise the drums are on the album. I have just learned after all this time that you are the man responsible for this great work. I just want you to know after so many years how much I have enjoyed your work on this album. Thanks and God bless you!

  5. Hey Paul,

    My brother in law (Dave) and I met you and your family at the cottage in Michigan a few years back. My parents have a cottage just down Lakeview Road from you. We sat in your cottage driveway and drank a few Stella’s and chatted about Michigan and Canada (where were from!). Anyway, I’m headed to Nashville next week and wondered if you could give us a few tips on where to go or possibly meet us for a drink.
    Cheers Paul!

  6. Hi Paul, my son Jack and I have been enjoying your recent Vic Firth YouTube videos on your session work. You are amazing and work so quick and I can see the many reasons why you are in such demand. My son Jack has been playing drums since he could pick up a wooden spoon and whack it. He is 14, in his marching band, studying drums with local pro Don Hamrick. He is frustrated with finding kids his age to start a band as they typically aren’t as serious as he is. He does play with a Church band, local Jam nights, a community band, and sometimes fills in with older guys in local bands. We live in the Myrtle Beach area.
    We need help and are looking for someone who can mentor Jack and help him go in the right direction. Also we have a couple of trips to Nashville this year and know no one in the music business. Maybe there are open jams you are aware of he could visit while we are there?
    Any suggestions would be so appreciated. I am an entertainer myself ( kids magician) so I don’t travel in the same circles.

    Thanks!

  13. Hi Paul,
    I just wanted to take a minute and compliment you on all your brilliant work. I first heard you on Phil Keaggy’s “Phillp Side” back in 1980 and have been enjoying your work ever since. I just began teaching at a Christian Performing Arts academy in Las Vegas as a drum instructor, and will be sharing examples of your music with my students. I hope you’ll be in Vegas soon. Let us know.
    God bless and thanks again

    All my best,

  15. Hello paul. For 12 years I played in a band of country music here in Brazil, and alert of research in this area could meet their work and other great drummers of his region.
    I am a card-carrying fan of your work.
    A big hug and may God continue to bless your life.

  17. Hi Paul, it’s Derek Thomas. I messaged you on facebook. I know you are really busy and there is always lots to do. I stay very busy myself and even for me to take time to look into and especially assist others takes energy so I really do appreciate your time. I have some material and live videos at skylinedrive.me. if you get a moment. I also just finished a new album that I self recorded called
    “Topanga Ranch Motel” and the audio is there on the site. I would be glad to send you a physical or dropbox download ( need email for that). My new demos I feel are some strong material. I have always known I am going to be a songwriter for other artists/film.t.v. and have become a performing artist myself on the way. Thank so much for your time and please let me know what is convenient for you. best,
    Derek
