Bespoke Professional Drum Tracks for $250

Tasteful, dynamic drum tracks with a vintage vibe. I've recorded at some of the UK's finest studios including AIR, Livingston, LA Sound and Toy Room, with producers including Mike Rowe (Noel Gallagher, Sheryl Crow, Mick Jagger), Andy Britton (Amy McDonald, Baby Strange) and Chris Hewitt (Newton Faulkner, Calvin Harris).

I have the option available to track live using Zoom and Audiomovers, where you can watch and listen to me recording in high quality and we can discuss revisions in real time!

My experience includes countless live shows, festivals and tours as well as national and international TV appearances. Songs featuring my drums tracked remotely have been mixed and mastered at top facilities including Abbey Road, and have gone on to receive BBC radio airplay and over 4 million streams.

I love playing for the song, and searching for the perfect marriage of parts and sound that makes a track come to life. Although I mainly work with singer-songwriters, pop and rock artists, I enjoy recording music of any style and welcome a new challenge. With my taste, experience and collection of vintage and modern gear I'm well-equipped to create the perfect drum track for your music.

The service includes up to 3 full takes of your song with 2 possible revisions. I send the raw multitrack drum files (24 bit, 48khz WAVs unless otherwise requested), including simple percussion overdubs if appropriate. Fully mixed drums and video recording of the session also available - message me directly for a quote.
