"There are only four drums on his kit, and yet he sounds like an army!" - Christopher Rico (christopherrico.com)
"George Sluppick puts a lot of funk into a medium tempo, and recalls the
kings of heavy foot: musicians like John Bonham and Gregg Errico from Sly and
the Family Stone, who drove their bass-drum beats into your spine." - Ben
Ratliff (New York Times)
"Drummer George Sluppick never veers
from the pocket of his soul/swamp/New Orleans beats... a creative and versatile
drummer with a great feel." - Linda Pitmon (Modern Drummer)
“Beat drummers are hard to find and that's what makes George Sluppick an
incredible asset to any group he plays with. He naturally kills the "one" and
then lays the backbeat so far back that the pocket gets spread out six miles
wide.” - JJ Grey (MOFRO)
“Among the excellent musicians....drummer
George Sluppick deserves special mention for his easy, deep-pocketed beats.” -
Jon Sobel (Blogcritics)
“Powerhouse” - High Sierra
Music
“Airtight grooves…backbeat basics… By combining relentless
repetition with scrumptious beats, Sluppick addresses the needs of dancers and
listeners at once.” - DRUM!
“And George Sluppick - I haven't
heard drumming like that since Ziggy Modeliste drove the Meters.” - Jazz
For The Asking
“George Sluppick kept the funky rhythm flowing,
acting as a central solid rock on drums, and even took time for a brief but
energized drum solo.” -Ariel Berry (Honest Tune)
“Strong
Backbeats” -Ted Drozdowski (Amazon.com)
“…for me the second
best part of the evening was the drummer. George was awesome! I watched him
really feeling the music and it made me feel it deeper” -Kerry M. Caster

“Hands down George Sluppick is one of the most overlooked drummers making it
happen on the scene today.” - Brad Hodge (Honest Tune Magazine)
