Whitten has been an active participant and Honorary VIP Member of the Drummer Cafe community forum since 2003.

He is a specialist at drum sample production and has contributed drums and percussion with recording partner, the British engineer/producer Peter Henderson of Supertramp fame for the Toontrack drum sample libraries Custom and Vintage SDX and The Classic EZX, as well as several others.

He toured with The Dire Straits Experience[5] and visited India to perform at a charity event in Gurgaon and Bangalore in March 2017.[6]
