"Phil Robertson is one of the most skilled and professional musicians I've worked with. His tracks are tasteful and right on the money. His timing is impeccable. His ability to take direction and his work ethic a standout. His drum kit, sonics and recording top-notch. Every track better than the previous one! I highly recommend him for all of your recording projects."
Ray Cervenka, Producer/Composer/Engineer. Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Willa Ford, Miz Metro

"Phil's session drumming and creative senses are spectacular! I count on his ability to sus out all of the angles and turns in my music and know implicitly that he will show up to any gig, recording session or rehearsal extremely prepared and ready to hit it! His sound is very big, and his groove is bigger, and he truly leads from the drum chair - no questions required... Phil is a world class drummer."
David Pierce, MD/Arranger/Composer 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Broadway.


"Phil is a fine musician and a true gentleman. We've had the pleasure of working with Phil on a number of drum sessions at Electronic Arts. He performed on 3 sequels of 'NBA LIVE' the video game. Those tunes and stingers would not have grooved the way they did without his great prowess on the kit. Some songs we thought might challenge him but he has the ability to pull off great complexities with precision and with seemingly great ease. His grooves are simply infectious. We'll be back again for more!"

Remix team for Linkin Park, Deftones, Filter, Static X.

He is extremely talented and is that rare blend of player who possesses technical ability yet also has a very sympathetic ear, very in atune to the song and the intuitive direction of the artist . Never a note out of place......a true pleasure and a rare find.......worth twice the doe ........in US Dollars."

"Having engineered and mixed many a project that Phil has been involved with, I think one word to sum his playing up would be "solid", whatever the flavor.

Guarantee you won't be disappointed."

He's my first call session player for drums."
