Remote Session Drummer | Organic MIDI Drums for $150

I'm a UK-born, Philadelphia-based remote session drummer with forty years behind the kit and a knack for knowing what a song does or doesn't need. I record 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'm a song drummer with a melodic, pop sensibility. Rock and pop are my bread and butter, but my song-first mindset carries over to Americana and indie, and through to hard rock, prog, and the darker post-punk and gothic end.

Across my career, I've recorded for artists including 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 shared sessions with Phil Keaggy, Iain Hornal (Jeff Lynne's ELO, 10cc), Mike Waldron (Luke Combs), and others.

I track live on a Roland kit through Superior Drummer 3 and its many expansions. The kit sound shapes the performance, so choosing the right one matters before a note is played. Once I've got a few takes down, I send the part to you to audition, and we go from there.

Once we’re done you get the clean MIDI file plus mix-ready multitrack audio pulled from industry-standard and boutique libraries, so you have the option to use the kit I provide or your own samples. If the track asks for a little tambourine or shaker, I'm glad to add it. Turnaround is within five days, with two revisions. Rush delivery is available.

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.

Thanks for your time,

Mart.
