Sterling is, as always, a class act and a true professional. If I had an unlimited budget I would do a million and one songs with him. I can’t say enough good...

Sterling deeply, deeply understood the emotion and vibe of my track. His drumming took my song to the next level. Not only was the part he created deeply musical, his production was perfectly aligned.

About me:
I grew up on punk and indie heroes. My mom played drums, I followed suit, and have since had the good fortune of touring the world and recording on countless records.

FAQ
Can you play any genre?
I have an extensive background of many genres of music.
What is your background in LA?
I have lived in Los Angeles for 13 years. Since that time, I have graduated from Musicians Institute, and become a full time touring and recording drummer for artists around the world. I love making music with my band, as well as serving others' ideas.
What is your favorite band?
Tough call, between Radiohead and Led Zeppelin.
Who are your influences?
Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Steve Jordan, Charlie Watts, John Bonham, Phil Selway, Joey Waronker, Matt Cameron.
Who have you worked with?
Many artist including Lo Moon, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Matt Berninger (The National), MGK, Liz Phair, The War On Drugs, Linda Perry, Olivia Rodrigo, Natasha Bedingfield, Conan Gray, Dave Stewart, Grace Vanderwaal, Aly & AJ, Mormor, Shakespears Sister, Daya, Chappell Roan, Ronboy, and more.
What is a multitrack recording?
Each microphone on the drum set is recorded individually, giving you full control of the mix of drums. The multitrack that I send to you has both options of minimal processing, and my own processing, so you can make the drums sound exactly how you want them!
What is the best package for my project?
It depends on your sound, genre, and abilities as a producer and engineer. I try to offer multiple levels of recordings, to best suit your project and budget. Ask me any questions you have, and I'm sure we can find what would work best for you!
Why do you offer three takes?
I have found that by giving you three drum takes, each with their own unique flare, it gives you the option to tailor the drums exactly how you want them. Generally, the takes are mellow (1), moderate (2), and intricate (3) in their structure and musicianship.
What is a ready-to-use stereo drum track?
This is a custom mix of the drums for your song, using my processing and production, that you can add to your DAW to use right away. A stereo drum track is a great option if you don't have experience mixing drums.
What sets you apart from other session drummers on Fiverr?
With twenty plus years of touring, recording, and performing, I am confident in my musicianship. Fiverr has many drummers, but few of them list legitimate artist credits and background info. This is what I do for a living, and I love it!

Something that I appreciate about Sterling is his pure range. He can do "ballad but haunted." He can do "aggression with bite." He can do "straightforward pop." He can do "mellow rock." Etc. He gets it. The production and parts may be different depending on the vibe, but he keeps his fundamental soul and musical intuition.
