Couldn’t of imagined my Daughters party any better, the performance was amazing from beginning to end. Mats LED drum set up brought a new level of fun to the party. He interacted with the crowd on the dance floor. He was on point with the Dj on any music he through at him making an awesome hybrid performance.
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you so much Bryan for having me perform at your daughter's birthday party! It was a great time, and I hope your daughter had the best birthday ever!

My experience working with Mat on my gig was simply next level. He showed up on time. prepared, and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend and endorse him. If you need a pro level drummer for any event, he is your guy.
Matt crushed it. Awesome LED drumkit. Played w aDJ for 1.5 hours.
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you so much for having me Jon! You were so great to work with and I hope to be able to do it again with you all sometime!
Mat is such a phenomenal drummer and amazing person! He was able to chart all of his songs ahead of rehearsal and was ready to go! Incredibly professional, extremely talented, and just an awesome person to be around! If you're thinking about hiring Mat, do it immediately!
Mat was superb! Arrived early, set up and could not be more cooperative and is truly a talented musician. We improvised with a Rapper that was truly remarkable and did some classic rock stuff off the cuff that was great. It was my birthday party and my musician friends and I all played with Mat and was tremendous. Total Pro!
I had an awesome time practicing with Mat! He was well prepared to play all the songs I wanted to play. I had so much fun. Thank you, Mat, you make me sound really good!
Although we didn’t end up booking, Matt helped us find 3 drummers to perform at our wedding for our grand entrance. Matt wasn’t available, but took the initiative to help find exactly what we were looking for. He did just that and was even open to negotiate price we were looking for to help with budget. If we ever have an event again that needs drummers, Matt will be the first one I reach out too. THANK YOU MATT!
This guy knew the assignment, he played all the songs exactly how we all expected it it was awesome we all loved it. We appreciate this guy, and I'd be sure to book him first next time I have another gig!! Thanks Bro!!
An absolute pleasure to work with. Mat had clearly listened carefully to the set list before rehearsal and came 100% prepared. He helped set up before practice and even stayed late to help us tear down. He is a great talent with a great heart.
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you for having me and the kind review! I look forward to playing with you guys again!
Drummer Mat is a very talented drummer and true professional in every way.
A joy to work with....On time - big smile - great attitude and most of all he livened up the event and made it fun.
Our event had about 100 people and every one of them enjoyed his performance, many have mentioned wanting to hire him for their next event.
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you Sandra for having me! I had a lot of fun and a great time working with you. I would love to be a part of your next events!
Mat did an AMAZING job on my song. He got the tracks and made the song absolutely ROCK! Fast turnaround- great, responsive talented drummer. I will absolutely hire him again. If you're looking for an exceptional drummer who is easy to work with, I highly recommend Mat Miranda!
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you for the kind review Cara! I enjoyed recording for your song, it was so upbeat and fun! I hope to work with you again in the near future!
Mat did an amazing job on my songs and I would recommend him anyday. Clean and smooth and got the job done quickly!
Response from Drummer Mat:
Thank you Matt! It was great meeting you and getting to provide drum tracks for your songs. I look forward to playing with you again!
Mat is a fantastic drummer. He was able to learn all six of our songs quickly and played them very well. He had great interactions with the rest of our regular musicians, and we’d love to have him back.
Response from Drummer Mat:
