Session Drumming for $175

Hi! I'm Jackson Ward and I'm a Studio Drummer and Audio Engineer based out of Indianapolis, Indiana. I specialize in rock, indie rock, prog rock, and metal drumming! I've played drums for a number of groups, but my most notable work has been recording drums and playing for Glenn Fricker on the Spectre Media Group YouTube channel. I usually have a fast turn-around times (one week). It varies based on projects and scheduling. Let's Skype to discuss your project!

Why choose me? You'll receive edited, mix-ready drum tracks that have been engineered to take your song to the next level. I customize the drum setup for each session to assure the tones recorded are most appropriate for your song. I have several kits I choose from, ranging from DW (Collectors series), Sonor (Prolite), and Ludwig (Classic American Maple). Mic selection and placement is also dependent on what your session calls for, and if you have any requests on gear, mic placements or selection, just make a request! My gear list is below!
