Drums

If you need drum tracks, I’ll be very glad to help you out. The price per song is $75. Mainly, I play classic/hard rock (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple), progressive rock (Rush, Steven Wilson, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Genesis, Yes), heavy metal (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest), pop (The Beatles, Billie Eilish), but it wouldn’t be a problem to handle some other genres as well.

I play the drums since I was born basically and I grew up under the influence of Ian Paice, John Bonham, John Densmore, Mike Portnoy, Gavin Harrison, Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Cozy Powell, etc…
I’m providing drum tracks recorded in my practice room/studio, where I’m using Allen&Heath Qu-24 digital mixer and 12 microphones (Shure’s, Omnitronic’s, AKG and Electrovoice’s) for recording and that includes:

– kick drum
– snare top
– snare bottom
– 3 tom-toms
– 2 floor toms
– 2 overheads
– room
– ride

I’m sending drum tracks (stems) in .wav format.

Drum set: Pearl Made in Japan maple (vintage)
Cymbals: Paiste (2002, Innovations, Sound Formula, 900)

Hiring drummers is expensive. There’s no way around it – drums take a lot of experience, talent and equipment to sound polished. If you decide to record them yourself, with little little to no experience, they often end up muddy, distorted or just lacking in life.

I offer a real and authentic drum programming service. Don’t be so quick to judge too! It’s straightfoward to do, simple to edit and quick to complete. Because of this, I offer cheaper quotes than acoustic drummers whilst maintaining a high level of quality and quick turnover for your convenience.

I specialise in Indie, Rock & Pop styles with real sounding drum kits. However, I’ve been commisioned for projects ranging from Hip Hop & Rap to Electronic & Minimalist styles.

FEATURES
-Multiple kit sounds to suit your needs
-Ghost notes, flams and other drum rudiments
-Dynamic playing
-Musical drum beats and fills, based on 10+ years drumming experience
-Layered drum tracks including percussion and other FX.
-Mixed and mastered as part of the cost

BEFORE YOU ORDER
Contact me, let’s talk! I want to know as much as possible. What does your track sound like? What do you want the drums to be like? Do you have any references? The more information the better.

AFTER YOU ORDER
I’ll go away and put together a first draft for you to listen to. If you like it, I’ll carry on and keep udpating you with drafts until the final drum take is complete. During any of these draft stages you can amend anything: Kit sound, beat choice, dynamics etc.

ONCE ORDER IS COMPLETE
I’ll bounce down the track to your specifications. Options include:
-Multiple sample rates (44.1khz standard)
-16 or 24 bit depth (16 standard)
-Multiple file formats (WAV standard)
-MIDI files
-Raw stems or mixed & mastered
