I will send a rough mix of me playing on your track, and then we can discuss it to make sure I'm getting the right vibe! After we talk and I get some feedback, I will record 3 different takes on the track so you have options to choose from.

I record drums with 7 tracks (2 overheads, snare, both toms, kick and a room mic). I can send a mix of all the tracks as a wav file, or send individual wav files of each track if you prefer to mix the drums yourself.

Respecting the song making it feel good are my top priorities. My goal is to elevate the track while letting the artist shine through!
