Remote Session Drummer | Live-Played MIDI Drums & Programmed drums for $125

Organic, live-played MIDI drum tracks for artists, bands, and producers who want the feel of a real drummer with the flexibility of MIDI. I’ve forty years behind the kit, a song-first ear, and a dedication to giving your music the best possible foundation.

Hello, I’m Martin Evans, a remote session drummer originally from the UK, now based in Philly. Across my career, I’ve recorded for artists such as Tim Renwick (Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton), Alex Catchings, Steve Donnelly (Sheryl Crow, Nick Lowe), and Henry Louris, played on productions by Ruslan Sirota (Grammy-winning producer and keyboardist) and Stephen Paul, and shared sessions with Phil Keaggy, Iain Hornal (Jeff Lynne's ELO, 10cc), Mike Waldron (Luke Combs), and others.

Rock and pop is home, playing the part that serves the song rather than smothering it. That sensibility carries over to Americana and indie, and through to hard rock, prog, and the darker post-punk and gothic end.

You get edited, comped MIDI plus multitrack audio, tempo-mapped and pulled from industry-standard and boutique libraries, so you can run with my kits or load your own. If a track wants a little tambourine or shaker, I'm glad to add it. Turnaround is within two days, three revisions included.



Have a listen to the demo tracks and the Spotify playlist, then send me a note about your project and how I can help you - Martin.
