I am excited to offer my services as an online session drummer for your next single, EP, or full-length album. Remote tracking will allow you to capture a professional performance in a great sounding room using acoustic drums and industry-standard recording equipment.
Aside from being more affordable than a traditional studio, remote tracking allows you to get your live drum tracks done much sooner, usually in about three or four days. If you have multiple songs in need of drums, make sure to ask about bulk discounts for larger projects.
Before the session: Tell me your vision for your project and how the drums can help you achieve that vision. Once you’re ready to move forward, send a rough mix of your song along with the BPM. If you have a reference drum part, feel free to send it as a separate audio file.
During the session: Based on your notes and guidance, I’ll craft a unique feel and groove for your music.
After the session: You’ll receive a link to a folder containing the raw tracks – no compression or EQ added – allowing you, your producer, and your mix engineer to shape the tones specifically to your sound.
What People Are Saying
“Ryan Elwood is an accomplished musician who puts the song and singer first; a real team player.”
— Doug Haywood (Jackson Browne)“Elwood's emotional and downtempo drums . . . perfectly round out the song to create a deeply emotional edge.”
“Alongside Stacks' haunting piano melodies and beaming electric guitar melodies, Elwood pours his hefty drums over our speakers to enhance the song's emotion and power.”
— Buzz Music“It has always been a pleasure working with Ryan. I respect him first as a musician and then as a drummer. He has a solid foundation in harmony, which many drummers lack. I think this makes him more aware of what is going on musically and therefore makes his drumming much more musical.”
— Eric Dorn (jazz guitarist)“Ryan laid down an amazing drum track on the first take. I had no revisions at all. And he’s super responsive to emails and quick to turn the project around. Many, many thanks!”
— Jesse White (singer/songwriter)Contact
