Quotes
When I first met Ricky Exton I was assisting on a session in the dorms at Berklee, I was immediately impressed with his versatility and creativity. Since then I’ve called upon him for every session for which I needed a drummer, and he’s always exceeded my expectations. I see great things for Ricky in the future, he’s a true asset to the music industry, and an absolute delight to work with.
