Drummer who thinks beyond the beat. I research, refine, and deliver your perfect recording for $150

Hi, I’m PJ Ciarla. I’m a professional drummer and session musician dedicated to giving your track the rhythmic foundation it deserves. Whether you need the nuanced touch of a jazz kit, the drive of a rock groove, or the precision of modern pop, I bring years of performance and recording experience to every project.

I'm London based (GMT time) although I've travelled the world and lived in many different places, which I strongly believe influenced my playing and my music pallet.
I'm a sound designer and my range of instruments doesn't just stop at the drums, in fact percussions are a big part of my sounds that I always try and implement in my recordings.

Instrumentation: Nobley&Cooley drums, Tama Imperialstar 1981, Kingstone1973, Gretsch Catalina Club, numbers of vintage Ludwig snare, Piccolo 12x3 Tama and Gretsch snare too.
Diril Cymbals, Meinls and vintage UFIP.

Recording gear: Audient ID48, TLA valve Preamps, Rupert neve preamps,DBX 266-286.

Microphones :sE full range v7x, VR1 Ribbon Pair, 4400 Condenser Pair, z5600 Tube, Vpack, AKG d190, EV RE20, AKGd112, Aston Spirit, SM 58, Reslosound tube mono OH.


I don't just "play over" your music; I listen to the song's DNA to provide a performance that serves the melody and elevates the production. Let’s build something great together.
