Live MIDI Drums | Remote Session Drummer | Top Rated Studio Pro | MIDI Drums/Programmed Drums for $150

I specialise in live-played MIDI drums that give you the feel of a real drummer with the flexibility of MIDI. Hi, I'm Mart Evans, a remote session drummer based in Philadelphia. Originally from the UK, I've been playing for 40 years, the last five remotely.

I've recorded for Tim Renwick (Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton), Alex Catchings, Steve Donnelly (Sheryl Crow, Nick Lowe), and Henry Louris, played on tracks produced by Ruslan Sirota (Chick Corea, Josh Groban), and shared sessions with Phil Keaggy, Iain Hornal (ELO, 10cc), and Mike Waldron (Martina McBride, Lee Ann Womack), amongst others.

I'm a song drummer. Rock and pop are my bread and butter, and that song-first mindset carries through Americana, indie, hard rock, prog, and the darker post-punk and gothic end.

Every performance is played live. No programming, no loops, no AI. I'll send you takes to audition, and we'll refine the part from there until it sits exactly where it needs to.

You'll receive clean MIDI, plus mix-ready multitrack audio if required, so you can use my kit sounds or your own samples. Light percussion is included whenever the song calls for it. Project rates and rush delivery are available.

If you do require audio, I work primarily with Superior Drummer 3, alongside Steven Slate, Addictive Drums, GGD, boutique libraries from Jake Reed and Aaron Sterling, plus a large collection of one-shots and custom samples. Whatever sound you have in mind, there's every chance we can find it.

Have a listen to the demo reel and Spotify playlist, then tell me about your song. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
