Session Drum Recording
Looking to add some professional drums to your music or need help brainstorming some creative songwriting ideas?
At my studio, meticulous attention has been given to its design, construction, and acoustic treatment to ensure optimal recording conditions.
Equipped with top-of-the-line drums, microphones, and preamps, I have the ability to tailor my sound to complement your music.
Whether you’re after some basic beats, a complex syncopated track, softer rhythms or some heavy hitting grooves, I am well-versed in a range of styles and have theoretical knowledge of music.
I understand what’s needed to make your project shine, and if required, I am more than willing to work alongside your producer or sound engineer to bring your vision to life.
Examples of songs I have performed on
I worked with Australian multi-award-winning vocalist, Abi Muir to write and compose the music for “Stockholm”.
The song went on to win the Grand Prize for the Rock category in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition, which included a panel of elite judges such as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, George Clinton, Jimmy Cliff and Mike Sapone.
This was recorded at my studio, then mixed by Aidan Hogg at The Plutonium (Brisbane) and mastered by Ben Feggans at Studios 301 (Sydney).
For something heavier, you can check out my band Darkshore’s singles “The Cost” and “Hopeless”.
These were also recorded at my studio, mixed by me, and mastered by Kalen Austin (Brisbane).
How It Works
STEP 1
Get in touch
Say hello and let me know what you're looking for in terms of drum recordings for your song(s).
STEP 2
Send me your track or ideas
Whether it's a song with a guide drum track or without any drums (in WAV or MP3 format), make sure it's recorded to a click track.
Include any specific details or reference tracks you have in mind. I’ll provide you with a quote based on the requirements and time needed to record the track.
STEP 3
Recording the drums
I'll take care of recording the drums and check in with you to ensure you're happy with the result.
You'll have two revisions included, so you can let me know if you want any changes made to the groove, sound, or approach. Additional revisions will be charged separately.
The turnaround time varies based on what work I currently have in queue.
STEP 4
send you the tracks
Once you approve of the final recording, I'll send you the individual drum stems and a stereo bounce for use in your audio software. It’s up to you whether you’d like the tracks raw or mixed.
