“For me, I don’t think about drums without Colin coming to mind. He is the go-to for laying it down in the studio, and is the ideal person to work with: versatile, easy to communicate with, quick to understand and implement ideas regardless of complexity, and he’s simply just a good, patient person.”

“Colin Bell is, without a doubt, one of the most reliable and talented percussionists I have ever worked with. In my work as a music director, I have heard him play multiple styles with ease, from jazz to rock to early Broadway to modern musicals. As a conductor/pianist, he easily reads my mind through tempo and beat changes without my having to raise my hands! His intuitiveness and ability to arrange and compose a chart make him a very useful asset in any orchestra, on both drum set and auxiliary percussion. His talent and passion for music shines through, and I highly recommend working with him on any project!”

“Colin’s ability as a percussionist and composer to make great music in any setting is unmatched. His professionalism and musicality go hand-in-hand: being the first to show up to a rehearsal or gig, and always being the most prepared. As a partner and music director at Elegant Music Group, Colin has been a great resource and asset that goes beyond his playing.”
