Eric Askew

Eric Askew is a content creator for Sweetwater and has been a musician, songwriter, and recording engineer for over 20 years. While he started studying trumpet and French horn at the age of 8, his true passion was for drums, which he has played for over 15 years. He worked in a few studios and toured throughout the Northeast, but his passion moved towards the technical side of things after a long stint on the road.

Eric has been a Cubase and Windows PC user throughout his entire career. His Sweetwater journey began as a senior drum tech and PC specialist in Tech Support but is now writing SweetCare Knowledge Base guides on anything and everything related to gear! Outside of work, he enjoys the outdoors and writing and recording music with his brother, Dave.
