About this gig
Professional Recording Drummer based in NYC.
Fully sound treated studio, large selection of microphones (DM me for full list), and over twenty years of playing experience.
I've toured the world playing jazz, rock, emo, metal, and country!
I'm here to record to whatever style you need and am happy to take direction or simply give your song my spin to make it the best possible version!
When working with me - expect quick communication, constant check ins, and quick delivery on the track!
I'm always happy to go thru revisions to make sure you are getting EXACTLY what you need for your song!
The only things I require from you are the drumless version of the song and if you have access to a midi file with the time signature and tempo data, if not that's totally okay!
I'll deliver all the multi tracks via a dropbox folder!
