Personal Note From Rich

Music begins with the rhythm section: bass and drums, and it is paramount that this foundation is rock solid, especially in metal!

Many musicians simply copy guitar parts on the bass but you can do so much more than this to become a world-class bassist.

Let me show you the true nature of the bass and how to maximize its potential. From technique to songwriting and everything in between, you'll learn all there is to make you, the bassist, sound your most musical self.

What Musicians Say About Metal Bass Master

Jeff Waters (Annihilator)

"Rich's creativity and approach to the instrument has really elevated our music. He came in and co-wrote all the music with me, as well as co-produced the record [For The Demented]. His background of classic thrash metal meets a newer “technical” metal style was the perfect combination for me."

Tom de Wit - Musician; audio/video producer; label owner

"Working with Rich was a very constructive and pleasurable experience. Rich tries to get in your headspace and look at your wishes and audio preferences and then enhance those ideas. He has a lot of ideas of his own to bring to the table, but always in a way to lift your product to the next level and/or to give you the skills to do so, like a proper musician should be doing. Rich communicates clearly, is punctual and does his work in a professional manner. Highly recommended if you search for a pop, rock, metal musician and producer that will increase the quality of your work!"

Prog Magazine (UK)

"Rich is a world-class multi-instrumentalist with a self-evident knack for getting the best out of other musicians. He creates sonically immaculate music, arranged with great delicacy."

Arjen Anthony Lucassen (Ayreon, Star One, Guilt Machine, Stream of Passion, solo)

"Excellent stuff! Rich's playing, skill on the instrument, and productions are very impressive."
