My Take
Frederiksen is the sort of behind-the-scenes craftsman I gravitate toward. A drummer, songwriter, and producer out of Hawthorne, California, he has shaped records for Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Motley Crue, Buckcherry, and then turned around and worked with Carrie Underwood and Faith Hill. That fluency across rock, country, and pop is rare; it takes an unusually flexible ear to move between worlds without losing the song's spine. I think being a player himself is the secret, he knows what a track needs from the inside. His name rarely tops the marquee, but the people who make the hits possible deserve more credit, and I am happy to give it.
