Drummer style

Howard's style features fast-paced, syncopated rhythms and a high degree of coordination across the kit. Playing drums to his tracks requires agility and a mastery of the relationship between drums and heavy bass synth. His work is a top pick for technical drum covers and modern drum lessons.
