FAQ
Setting Up The Session Pt. 1
The usual process begins with you getting in touch with me to discuss your music and the kind of service you're looking for, and the details of your project, your ideas and thoughts on it. I am happy to work on any genre, so don't be shy!
Setting Up The Session Pt. 2
You send your songs over and include any demo drum parts, if you like and have any. From then on, we will discuss specifics and other technicalities, such as when you are expecting to receive the tracks by, the sample rate of your project, how you would like to receive the drum tracks, etc.
First Takes
Next, I'll start working on the drum parts for your songs in the studio and have a few takes sent back within a couple of days. Three revisions will be included for each track, so don't be afraid to ask for things to be changed!
Feedback and Revisions
When you're happy with the drums, I'll export each track individually and send them to you. This will normally include some basic editing, but if you would prefer to receive the raw recordings (or both), this is totally fine. I can also deliver a ready-mixed version of the drums.
What Gear Do You Have?
I have two Yamaha Drum Kits (modern & vintage), Ludwig Snare Drums, Tama Swingstar Snare Drum, Other Snare Drums, Zildjian A, K and Constantinople Cymbals, Shure, AKG, Samson, Behringer, Stagg and Aston Mics, Audient ID11 Interface, Behringer ADA8200 Preamps (20 ins in total), DBX 266XL Compressor
Do You Offer Special Pricing for Independent Artists and/or Students?
Sure! I understand that recording costs are often scary and off-putting, so if you're looking to get great-sounding drums for a good price, please get in touch and I will be happy to help.
How Can You Offer Great-Sounding Live Drum Tracks So Quickly?
Well, I record my drums in my home studio. I have built a specifically-designed, soundproof studio room in which I can get professional-quality drum recordings. And since travel costs are also out of the equation, this helps with not only with the speed of delivery, but with keeping costs down too.
