Live Drum Tracks From A True Session Pro for $185

Hi, I'm Nate Barnes. I have drummed for artists including Mary Chapin Carpenter, Rodney Crowell, Ryan Bingham, Hiss Golden Messenger, Todd Snider, American Authors, Rose Hill Drive, and many others. I have also worked with producers such as Brendan OBrien, Jim Scott, Nick DiDia, and more.

I've been recording my own drums for over 20 years and have been doing remote drum recording out of my own studio for 15 years, logging thousands of sessions for clients all over the world. My drum tracks focus on delivering the best performance of the perfect part for your song with emphasis on groove, feel, texture, energy, space, and attitude. My goal is to serve the writer's vision by enhancing the song without ever distracting from it.

My roots are in Rock N Roll but I have branched out from there into Pop, Country, Folk, Indie, Americana, and Singer-Songwriter, and I've done drum tracks in just about every genre imaginable. I'm also a solo artist (under the name Plutinos) and a composer, so I approach my drum tracks from a songwriter's viewpoint- with the primary consideration being what's best for the song. Additionally, I'm a drum/beat programmer, a guitarist, and am endorsed by Ludwig, Sabian, and Vic Firth.

My studio was custom built for recording drums. The room is fully tuned and treated and has a great room sound. I use Universal Audio Apollo X series interfaces along with AEA, Beyerdynamic, Shure, AKG, Lauten Audio, sE Electronics, Neve, API, and much more. I dial in custom sounds for each project utilizing up to 18 channels with a ton of mix flexibility on a wide range of drums and cymbals- with sounds ranging from dirty and greasy to clean and polished; from tight and crisp to big and bombastic. Give my 3 audio reels a listen for the full spectrum of styles and sounds I can record for your project. Feel free to reach out with any questions- I'd love to help bring your vision to life!
