What artists, labels and producers say about working with me.
“Tim joined my band The Little Unsaid in 2014 and has worked closely with me on numerous album recordings and tours since then. As well as being an immensely versatile, skilled and imaginative drummer both on stage and in the studio, he is also well-versed in songcraft across various genres, meaning his percussion arrangements are always seeking to serve the composition in the best, most interesting possible way. Alongside this Tim is the most warm, considerate and dedicated member of any team he is a part of, whether that’s collaborating on in-depth ensemble work or contributing a drum session to a recording, he brings all of himself to any creative project in a way that encourages the same level of passion, joy and focus in the work of those around him.“ John Elliott (bandleader for The Little Unsaid), Composer for Film, TV & Theatre (UK)
“Tim is a great collaborator and trusted project manager. He is open minded, considerate, passionate, enthusiastic and seemingly endlessly positive whilst setting considered boundaries. He has years of experience around music and culture yet always seeks out something or someone new to enjoy working with. A great human you can trust and a hard worker.” Tom Rose, Label & Artist Manager, Reveal Records, (UK).
“The first thing I noticed about Tim’s drumming was his deep groove, then I learned just how much Tim loves songs, understands the emotion in them and responds by coming up with unique drum/percussion parts that always serve the material perfectly. He also responds to instructions like “evoke flowing water in a forest”. Of course he can do the standard thing, but if you want something else, and Seb Rochford isn’t available, Tim’s your man. He’s also lovely and funny.” Steve McDaniel, Composer (UK)
"Having worked with Tim on a variety of projects, I can say with great confidence that he's a consumate professional, a skilled drummer with great dynamics, a real musical ear, style and personality. He's relaxed, down to Earth, sensitive to the individuals around him, and seeks to serve the song and vibe you're working towards, rather than showcase his chops. Which he has." Andreas Linnemann, Producer, Composer, HopHouse Studios, (DK)
“I’ve worked with Tim in various projects over the last decade, and he has always delivered. The only drummer I’ve ever worked with who has never crossed my loudness threshold, has consistently used his ears more than his limbs, and taken so much care and time to consider the whole piece of music to craft his part, which is always inventive, creative, and never exactly what you expected. As a presence, he’s a joy to work with, bringing his wisdom, kindness and respect to the sessions and making everyone feel safe and appreciated. In short, working with Tim Heymerdinger is a dream.” Lukas Drinkwater, Bass Player, Composer, Producer, Label Owner Polyphonic Recording (UK)
“Tim and I worked together playing live for two years as well as recording live, in the studio and creating videos. His passion for music and creative flair makes him a joy to work with. Tim came up with inventive percussion parts and often backing vocals too which complimented or enhanced the overall sound of my songs. Tim is a natural performer, engaging crowds and bringing new energy to the stage. He also came up with new ways to engage audiences through creative media of other kinds like video and recordings, driving ambition in the band and producing new content to share. Tim is an incredible talent as a musician but, more importantly, is an amazing human being with a lust for life, a big heart and a desire to work with others to bring out the best in them and to create beautiful things. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”. Louise Petit, Songwriter, (UK)
