Creative & professional drum/percussion tracks from a pro engineer for $75

Professional drummer, percussionist, audio engineer and vocalist with great gear and a creative style & approach.

I will deliver 3 takes of your song, allowing for 3 revisions/edits to your favorite take. Drums are recorded in my professionally designed & acoustically treated home studio. Delivery will be individual mic channels (up to 14 channels, unprocessed), but I can also provide a fully mixed stereo file for an additional fee. 24 bit/48k is typical, but can adjust to your needs.

Happy to offer a 30 second sample to see if I’m the right fit as well.

With 30+ years as a musician and over 20 as an engineer, I have deep knowledge of the process from both sides of the glass and have the ability to bring ideas to life. I’m happy to cut straight-ahead tracks, but I especially enjoy creating a unique vibe that can take a song to another level.
