FAQs
What’s the difference between a session drummer and an online session drummer?
A traditional session drummer works in person with musicians and producers in a recording studio. An online session drummer (also known as a remote session drummer) does the same job, but entirely remotely.
With an online session drummer like me, you simply send over your song files, I’ll record professional live drum tracks in my own studio, and then deliver the multitrack recordings back to you for mixing.
The benefit? You get custom, studio-quality drum recordings without the cost of hiring a physical studio or bringing in a drummer on location, saving you time, money, and giving you access to professional drum tracks from anywhere in the world.
How does remote drum recording work?
It’s a simple, streamlined process. You send me your song files along with a brief, and I’ll record custom drum parts in my professional studio using high-quality gear. I’ll then send you a preview mix for review, and if you’d like any adjustments, I’ll make revisions until you’re completely happy.
Once approved, I’ll deliver the full-quality multitrack drum stems straight to your inbox, ready for mixing.
Remote drum recording removes the hassle of booking studio time and hiring musicians in person, giving you professional results quickly, with tracks that are mix-ready the moment you receive them.
How do I hire an online session drummer?
Hiring me as your online session drummer is quick and straightforward. Just get in touch to discuss your project, and I’ll provide a quote. Once we’ve agreed on the details, you simply send over your song files, and I’ll get to work recording your custom drum tracks – easy!
How do you ensure that the drum tracks are custom and tailored to my project?
I take pride in creating drum tracks that are unique to each song. Before I record, I’ll work with you to understand your vision, whether that’s a specific style, groove, or rhythm you already have in mind, or giving me the freedom to create something unique for you.
I also shape the parts around the other instruments in your mix, making sure the drums enhance the overall sound rather than compete with it.
With 15+ years of recording experience, I know how to deliver performances that feel natural, musical, and perfectly complement the song.
What types of music can you record drums for?
I’ve recorded drums for a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, country, funk, R&B, jazz, Latin and more.
The only style I don’t specialise in is metal.
Acoustic drum tracks
Studio quality drums tracked through industry-leading preamps, converters and microphones.
MIDI drum tracks
With access to premium drum software and sample libraries, MIDI drums offer complete flexibility, from huge, roomy live sounds to tight 808s.
