Record Drums for Your Song

I've recorded with artists like: The Tuten Brothers, Daniel Hardin, Justine Grove, Pulaski & Co., Steven Bowers, Lane Marie, Julia Lauren, Sophia Barkhouse, John Hart, Daniel Hardin, The Grove Community Church, Jillie, Jacob Mallow, Colin Neil Stevens, Andrew Brantley, and more.

I'm in my studio every weekday 9am - 5pm EST and can usually turn around a first take within 1 business day. Once you hit order I'll get to work!

Drums:
Gretsch USA Custom maple kit (12, 15, 16, 22)
Gretsch Catalina Birch kit (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 22)
C&C Player Date II (13, 16, 22)
6.5x14 Ludwig Supraphonic
6.5x14 Ludwig Black Beauty
3x13 Pearl steel piccolo snare
Roland SPD-SX sample pad

I use Logic Pro X and analog preamps.

Mics:
2 KSM32s (overheads)
Shure Beta 52A (kick in)
1 Shure SM57s (snare top)
1 AT2020 (kick out)
CAD stage 7 (snare bottom)
2 Sennheiser 421s (toms)
2 AKG 414 XLS (stereo room mics)

I've got various shakers, maracas, aux toms, tambourines, and cymbals.

I typically record in 24 bit at 48 khz, but can change this if needed. You will be fully refunded if you aren't completely satisfied with my performance. I usually get things right first try, but will give revisions if needed.

Unless otherwise designated, all work I do through Studiogigs is "Work for Hire" meaning I don't retain any creative rights to my drum tracks or your song. I'd be happy to sign a "Work for Hire" form if that's needed.

Let me know if you are sending me the final edit of your track, or if you are going to re record or edit the timing. If it's the final edit then I can play tight to the other instruments, if you are going to retrack, I can play tight to the click.

Want to give it a shot? Send me your track in an mp3 file along with any specific directions you have for me: style of playing, intensity, dynamics, drum tones, breaks, specific fills or anything else. If you have scratch or programmed drums, send me one mp3 with them in and one without. The more direction you can provide the better!

Once you send me all this info, I will send you a draft within 3 days and we can discuss what you like and what you would like me to change (if anything). Once you are satisfied, I will send you all 11 individual drum tracks (or more if I used percussion or drum samples). I can send them as wav, mp3, or another file type if you prefer.

Have questions or concerns? Let me know and I'd be happy to answer them! Thanks for your interest!
