When country artists are looking for the kind of slamming, funky beat that opens Thomas Rhett’s “T-Shirt,” they get the right man for the job: Chris Kimmerer, a Canadian drum demon who’s become a Nashville session monster.

Credits include: Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, Brooke Eden, Patrick Droney, Marc Scibilia, Lauren Duski, Derek Webb, Sonicflood, David Phelps and many others.
