I will record drum tracks for your songs


About this gig
I'll record drums for your pop, rock, blues, metal and prog songs. I've been playing drums since the med 90's, most of the time as a hobby, but almost always on a weekly basis. I've had a home studio since around 2015 and recorded and mixed demos for my own bands.
Drumset: Mapex Orion classic studio six piece. Three "octoban style" one headed toms (three is the most prog amount, isn't it :D).
Snares: Mapex Black panther maple snare, 5x14, Tama Starclassic maple 6x14, Yamaha steel 5,5x14, Tama aluminum 4x14.
Cymbals: Sabian AA and AAX, Zildjian A and A custom, Istanbul, Istanbul Agop, Dream Bliss, Sihi, Meinl...
Recording setup: Zoom Livetrak L-20 mixer/audio interface, so I have the ability to record 20 tracks at once, but I usually use around 8-12 mic's on the drums. Kick, snare top, overheads in X/Y, four toms, the "octobans" summed to one track and a room mic. Simon Phillips doesn't use a snare bottom mic, so I figured you don't have to ;) but If you want one I'll do it. I haven't found the need for a separate hi-hat mic either, so far, but it's up to the customer.
I use a Windows laptop, and my DAW of choice is Magix Samplitude, Pro X7 at the moment, in 48khz sample rate.
