- Hudson has been the session drummer on over 40 CDs. He plays well with a click track. For pre-production he prefers to get a copy of the music with out drums so he can compose drum parts. After being allowed that privilege, sometimes the artist goes with his ideas. Others like to make changes or have him play their ideas.

TEACHING
- Hudson teaches a song-centric curriculum. Analysis of the music a student is playing or studying is generally the focus. Having studied with Gary Chaffee, Alan Dawson, Bob Gullotti, Joe Porcaro and Bob Moses, he has a lot of tools to improve a student’s skills including: rudiments, stickings, linear, technique, odd number groupings and so on.
