Todd Sorensen (center) is an accomplished session drummer and percussionist as well as a composer and producer. His playing and writing can be heard everyday on shows like NBC's The Today Show, ABC’s Good Morning America and more. He also composes for TV, radio and album production. His work has been featured in film trailers for such blockbusters as Tomb Raider 2, X Men 2 and Spiderman.

Guy Randle (right) has been engineering and producing full time since 1977 when he founded Rosewood Recording Company. With more than 25 years of experience behind the board, his track record includes projects ranging from major label artists to independent albums with total unit sales in the millions. And one more thing -- he loves recording drums.

Quint Randle (left) has made a career out of making life simpler for working musicians and songwriters. He founded Gig Magazine in 1986 and his book, Making Money Making Music, is available at bookstores nationwide (and in the DOD store). He has also written for a variety of music industry publications such as Mix Magazine and Guitar Player. The Drums on Demand concept and patent-pending organization system grew out of his own songwriting and production work.

“I discovered Drums on Demand while producing a demo, at my friend Chris Cutler's home studio. Wow! Being able to track an entire song, band, singer, the works, to a click track -- then auditioning DOD Master Loops and Song Sets after that. Even the process is fun. So well-organized and editable!”
