"I've been in music for a long time, and I've been fortunate enough to interact with some of the greatest players. As a top level drummer, Carmen Intorre is one of those artists, ..... gifted to the max!"

-Pat Martino

"An exciting and visceral player, Carmen provides the solid underpinning that propels the soloist, but also creates highly musical textures and patterns that demonstrate an individual voice." 

- Ernie Krivda


“Reminiscent of Art Blakey, Intorre brings the swing and the drive to the bandstand, continually inspiring us to reach further...”

-Curtis Fuller


“From my experience with Mr. Intorre, it is clear that he is an intelligent, capable individual who is committed to following through with every detail once he commits to a project. He takes initiative, has the spirit of both a leader and a collaborator, and is willing to work hard to make his dreams a reality……Carmen Intorre is blessed with an amiable personality, which garners the respect and admiration of his colleagues and superiors alike. He is incredibly conscientious and is always prepared, which makes collaborations with him a satisfying experience, both musically and personally.”
