I am offering my studio, drumming and mixing abilities to any artist that needs a drum part but doesn't want to pay top dollar for a top sound!
The recording system I have in place enables me to achieve incredible results.
All you have to do is send me your song with a drum part that you had in mind or I'll make one up for you and record it. If you want, just send me your song for me to have a listen to for free!
Once complete, you have the option of being sent all the RAW multi track files or a stereo 2-track mix or both!
1. Drum kit multitrack recording:
- up to 10 minutes in length
- based on your instructions
- once complete YOU OWN the files with no further royalty payments required

- I will send you a link from my server so you can download the individual multitrack drum tracks as one zip file or a stereo 2-track mix, it's up to you how you want the files.
- the UNPROCESSED multitracks will enable you with more control over the final drum mix so you can personalize the sound to your needs. Usually I use 12 tracks to record my drum kit, you would get all of them in a zip file.
- a 2-track stereo mix PROCESSED or UNPROCESSED will already have the drum mix completed. All you have to do is insert the stereo track into your song and you're done.
- the UNPROCESSED multitracks will enable you with more control over the final drum mix so you can personalize the sound to your needs. Usually I use 12 tracks to record my drum kit, you would get all of them in a zip file.
- Don't pay before hearing the new drum track!! I will record my drumming part first and then you will have a chance to listen to a sample of the recording before payment is made!
Rate per song: $70 USD
2. One Modification
- Usually you will be fully satisfied with the first recorded tracks but in case you are not, let me know and I will make up a one instance modification based on your input and either punch-in the new parts or do another full take to correct any areas not played correctly. This can include up to 5 different parts that need to be changed in the working song.
free-of-charge
3. Second and Subsequent Modifications
- It is very unlikely to have a second or subsequent modifications, but in case I have to, I charge a minimal fee to cover the studio costs.
$10 USD each mod
4. Full track retake
- A FULL retake of the drum tracks may happen only if you change your mind entirely and / or would like an entirely different drum part altogether to experiment with. The new recording will be again be based on your instructions.
$25 USD

These are some comments made after hearing the drums on completed sessions:
- You totally nailed it, total success, it's awesome!
- Well done! A weird job, I know, but I really appreciate it!
- Perfect!
- I love the sound of your kit and your playing has great feel.
- Thanks a ton! And I'll keep you posted on any other songs I could use your feel and sound on!!!
- All I want to say is thanks and you've done a fantastic job on the tune.
- Thanks for the track. The sound and feel are spot on, the playing is perfect, and overall the take is great!
- I am really happy with your professionalism.
- You're a great musician and got a good sound too. Thanks!
- We are so happy to work with you! We had so much fun last night with the beats. please take a listen.
- I dont wanna hear about any other drummer I don't wanna hear about "the new loop drum sound in town". They all say it sounds like "a real one" .... maybe until you hear a real one!
- Man I lose so much time programming drums.... don't wanna do it anymore LOL
- many many thanks dan!!!
- Everything works fine here, I'm having fun
- Working with your drums makes me smile (after programming for 20 years).
- Wow, the drums are really great! Yeah, sounds like you had fun, we had fun too :o)
- I love it, for me its like a holiday.
- I am really happy and will do the rest of the album with you for sure.
- yepp. he says 'nice drumming, thanks a lot' !
- Your drum part gives a new sound. I also feel that I need to play less busy, ex.) less bass notes. The fact that the drum machine felt bad made me try to play a groove on the bass to compensate. In fact, building a song on a drum machine (unless you want lady Gaga) can be fine for some but not my album.
