What is an online session drummer?
Good question! An online session drummer is no different to a drummer you'd hire at a studio. We do exactly the same thing, just over the internet. There can be huge costs with hiring out a studio, an engineer and a session drummer so this way can save you hundreds of pounds!
What is your turnaround time?
24 hours from sending me your tracks I can have the drums completed and in your hands / on your computer! (Subject to availability)
How much input will I have?
You will have as much input as you like. Before recording takes place we will talk over how you’d like the drums to sound and feel. If you have examples of what kind of sound or style you'd like for the track then that's great! You say, I play!
How can I send you my tracks?
You can send me your tracks via any digital transfer website, i.e We transfer, Dropbox etc. Alternatively, if they are MP3's you can email them.
How do I pay?
I prefer payment through PayPal once you are happy with the tracks.
What if I don't like the drums?
I’m happy to say this hasn’t happened yet. I will send you the rough track (without post EQ and editing etc) and you will have the opportunity to make 1 revision, it’s my job to give you what you want! HOWEVER, as I’m sure you’ll understand, recording takes time and any changes after the revision will be charged at my hourly rate (£10p/h)
How will I receive the tracks?
I will upload the tracks as you want them to my Dropbox for you to download. Alternatively, I can send a hard copy DVD in the post if postage is covered.
How many files will I receive?
General set up is 14 WAV files. Extra Tom's can be recorded if needed.

Yes. Cowbells, shakers, tambourines etc. You name it, I’ll record it!
