Luke has been a freelance and session drummer for the past 7 years. He has experience playing: rock, pop, funk, hard rock, reggae, folk, country, hip hop and more.

All recording is done in 24 bit/48khz.

The Process:
Send us your track in an mp3 or wav file without drums and let us know what the tempo is (bpm). Let us know any specific directions you have for us: style of playing, preferred gear, intensity, dynamics, drum tones, breaks, specific fills, or any other notes. Song references always give us a better idea of the intended direction. If you have a scratch drum track or programmed drums, feel free to send those as well, but make sure those are sent in a separate mp3/wav track so that they can be muted during the tracking process.

Please message me as far in advance as you can, as these studios are busy and can be booked solid for months. I will provide you with a preliminary take with my gear to make sure you like the parts before we go into the studio. I will send you at least 5 edited takes and one shot samples for you to use as you would like.

Have questions or concerns? Let me know, and I'd be happy to answer them.

- Luke
