"Matt Laug is one of the best & most professional drummers I've ever worked with. Hard hitting, great meter & great tone & a hell of a nice guy too."

Mike Campbell  Songwritter, Guitarist (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers,The Dirty Knobs)

"Matt Laug? Who is this guy? I know him better as " Swamp Fox ".  

For the last decade or more, Matt has been playing with me live and in the studio with the Dirty Knobs. Live, he's a monster and in the studio he's a beast. I never have to question him, he always just seems to do exactly what I want. Basically, he's a clock with soul. He listens to the song and the singer and always comes up with the essence of what the groove should be. He also knows how to strike each drum to get the optimum tone. His musical input and suggestions are essential to each project. Many times he will point out something I am doing wrong that I overlooked, and save my ass. I don't think we've ever had an argument....he always brings his " A " game and will fight to the finish to make it great. I feel blessed to have him as a friend and to be able to depend on him to make my stuff sound better. If the Heartbeakers ever lose Steve Ferrone ( God forbid! ) , Swamp Fox is the guy I would want as our drummer."
