I have yet to find him in a musical situation where he was not instantly able to adapt himself and his abilities to meet the needs of the groups as a whole. Chris would be an asset to any project."Tom KnightDrummer for TLC"Through out my pro-musician career, I've had many opportunities to play with many great drummers such as Sonny Emory (Earth, Wind and Fire), Forrest Robinson (India Arie), Sean O'Rourke (Aru, Sugarland), Tom Knight (TLC), Bill Stewart (Gregg Allman Band), Omar Phillips (A. Development), Jeff Sipe (Aru, Col. Bruce Hampton), Dallas Austin (Producer of Drumline), and Marc Mays (Cee-Lo). Chris has a good feel and groove that is all his own! On the gig, he is able to jump right into any tune with no problem."Tak NakazawaL.A. Guitarist"Chris's playing is very controlled and spicy."Creig HarberDirector of Drum ProgramAtlanta Institute of Music"Chris is a sensitive player. I really dig his awareness and approach to playing and his style fit Jess' gig very well."Joel Powell Atlanta Bass Player"Chris Kittredge is a time keeper but also the flash master."Charlie GilbertGuitaristBad Horse "Chris is a very talented and consistent young drummer who has great chops in several musical genres. He has a great future as a drummer in the music industry."Chris FragaleDirector of Career Services and Music Business coursesAtlanta Institute of Music"I love playing with Kittredge because although he has mad skills and killer chops, he never lets that get in the way of holding the song together. He is very solid, he is aware of what the other band members are doing, and he is great at controlling the dynamics of the song. Chris is also great to work with, very easy going and friendly. All around great drummer, and person."Kevin WalkerGuitarist"Chris is ALWAYS dialed in on the set. He is not only a technician in his studies and applications of syncopation to each individual song, but he also possesses the soul and aesthetic qualities that are needed to accent the very ideas, truths, and concepts you create and present through music. He is one of those guys I truly, as a guitarist and singer, get amped to play with every time, whatever the setting may be."Andrew "Gator" Huggins Trucker Love Band & Worship Leader"Playing with Chris has truly been a pleasure. In a worship environment you really need people who understand how to be flexible and as a leader I know that Chris is always going to be with me. Chris is a very talented guy and I know that the best is yet to come." Thomas DavisWorship LeaderMidway Church
