How does it work?
I do my best to make the whole process as easy as possible. You email me a scratch track to record to, I’ll work out a drum part, and then I’ll send the multi-tracks back to you. Of course, if you have any questions at any point, I’m always available to talk!
What should I send you to ensure the best result?
At the very least, record your scratch track to a click. I love playing off the vocal! If you have a programmed drum part for reference, please send it as a separate track.
Can you record percussion in addition to drums?
Absolutely, and at no additional charge! I have shakers, tambourines, and a bunch of other fun-sounding percussion toys.
How much does it cost?
My base rate is $150 per song. If you have a larger project ready for tracking, ask about bulk discounts.
How much input can I give?
You are encouraged to give as much input as you’d like. After all, these are your songs! I enjoy the collaborative process, so anything you’d like to suggest (from the drums' tuning to the mics' placement) is welcomed.
What kind of gear do you use?
I have many different drum sets, snare drums, cymbals, and microphones to choose from, each with unique tones and applications. Check out my gear page for more details.
How long will it take?
My gear is always assembled and ready to record, so I can usually turn around your drum tracks in a couple of days (depending on how many songs we’re doing in one session).
What if I’m not 100% satisfied with the drum part?
As I take great pride in ensuring that my clients are happy with the results, I am more than happy to do up to three revisions to guarantee we get that magic take.
How many tracks will you be sending?
It varies from project to project, but it's usually between ten and fifteen audio tracks per song. I will deliver these tracks to you via Dropbox.
