“Derrick Raiter and I first starting working together back around 1998, when I was looking for hand percussion on a new CD project I was working on. He came recommended to me by my producer, Jeff Vee with Rockhouse Records. Now twelve years later, I can’t imagine working with a different percussionist. Derrick is thoroughly professional, both on and off the stage, as well as in the studio. What I’ve come to appreciate and respect is that he does his homework. I can’t recall a time when he didn’t show up prepared to play. When we’re learning a new song, he’ll bring two or three different ideas on how to approach the percussion layer. Derrick is creative and flexible, two qualities that make him a great side musician…without hesitation or reservation, I recommend Derrick Raiter and Urban Percussion.”
