I will be your session drummer and record live drums for your song
About this gig
Need real live drums on your song? I'll record acoustic drum tracks that add energy, punch, and a human feel to your music.
I'm a drummer with over 10 years of live and recording experience, and I specialize in creating parts that serve the song musically, not just "chopping".
Whether you need a pocket feel, gospel groove, funk/soul pattern, R&B/hip-hop energy, or just a live drum layer over your already-made beat, I'll record a drum part that fits your track.
I record using a beautiful 5-piece Tama Imperialstar drum kit with quality Sabian AAX cymbals, Behringer TM1200 drum mics, Behringer CM1200 overhead/room mics, and industry-standard recording software to deliver clean audio files and stems depending on your package.
Perfect for:
- Artists and singers
- Producers
- Beats and instrumentals
- R&B, hip-hop, soul, funk, pop, rock, and general live arrangements
- Demos, singles, YouTube covers, and full releases
You can send me your song, BPM, reference track, and any notes, and I'll work closely with you to bring your song/track to life!

FAQ
What do I need to send you?
Please send at least one of: song file, BPM, reference track + any notes about the drum style or feel you want.
Can you record drums if my song already has programmed drums?
Yes. You can send the version with programmed drums as a reference, and I can record live drums that replace, replicate, or embellish the groove.
Will I receive stems?
Yes, stems are included in all packages. You'll receive a zipped folder consisting of 7 individual high-quality audio files (kick, snare, toms high/mid/floor, room left & right) + a track of all drums mixed together.
Can you record a video of you playing the drums?
Yes, video-recording is offered with the 'Premium' option only (but video can be included with 'Basic' option for additional fee).
What counts as a revision?
A revision means small changes to the drum performance/playing itself (not the mix/levels). Think of it like a 'take' in music/video production. A full song direction change after delivery may require an extra fee.
Can you play to a click track?
Yes, a click track is preferred, but if you don’t have one, no worries! Just send the song (or BPM) and I’ll do my best to lock in with it.
What genres do you not do?
I’m open to most genres, but if you need extreme metal, complex jazz notation, or highly technical drum transcription, please message me first.
