Session Drumming

Drums for your project or live shows

Dave D'Amore - Session Drummer

Professional Drum Tracks For your music

I cover a wide range of genres and styles, from soft, laid-back grooves to heavy, powerful rhythms – and from simple, straightforward patterns to intricate, detailed compositions.

Every track is recorded using high-end drums, cymbals, microphones, and preamps to deliver top sound quality. I’m also happy to work with your producer to craft drum parts that perfectly compliment your tracks.

ℹ️ I collaborated with Australian award-winning vocalist Abi Muir to record drums for “Stockholm”, which won the Grand Prize in the Rock category of the John Lennon International Songwriting Competition. The judging panel included icons such as Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), George Clinton, and Jimmy Cliff.

Live Performances

With over 20 years of live experience, I deliver tight, consistent, and energetic performances on stage.

Whether it’s a one-off gig or a recurring residency, I adapt seamlessly to any band or musical style, ensuring the drums elevate the music.

I’m very comfortable in working with click and backing tracks, have multiple drum setups to suit different venues and performance needs, and I’m equipped with reliable transport for gigs.

Recording Studio

Bring your music to life

From Concept To Creation

Based in Cairns, Australia, my private studio offers professional recording services for bands and solo artists looking to bring their music to life.

With acoustic treatment, high-quality preamps, a range of microphones, and professional monitoring, the studio is designed to capture your music with clarity, depth, and emotion.

As a recording engineer with experience as a multi-instrumentalist, I bring a keen ear for detail and a solid understanding of musical structure, combining practical skills with musical intuition to support every project. My digital workflow ensures the recording process is precise and efficient, so you can focus on creating great music in a relaxed, inspiring environment.

Whether you’re after tracking-only, editing, or additional production input, I tailor my approach to suit your needs. I can help refine arrangements and highlight the unique elements of your sound – or step back and let you take full creative control. Either way, I’ll ensure your recordings reflect your artistic vision.

ℹ️ The studio has been the creative hub for my band, Darkshore, where singles like “Hopeless” and “The Cost” came to life.
