Top Quality Drum Tracks From A True Session Pro for $175

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.

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, and my goal is to serve the writer's vision by enhancing the song without ever distracting from it.

I've been refining the art of multi-track drum recording for over 20 years and have been doing remote drum sessions out of my own studio for 15 years, logging thousands of sessions for clients all over the world. What you'll get are expertly performed and engineered drum tracks from a true music industry pro, ready for professional mixing and commercial release. My studio was custom built for recording drums and fully treated in tandem with an acoustics expert. I have top quality instruments, microphones, preamps, and converters, and you'll hear this reflected in the caliber of my drum tracks.

Stylistically 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.

I use Universal Audio Apollo X series interfaces along with API and Neve preamps, and microphones from AEA, Beyerdynamic, Shure, AKG, Lauten Audio, sE Electronics, Warm Audio, and more. I dial in custom sounds for each project utilizing 18 channels with total kit coverage and mix flexibility with direct microphones on all drums, hat, and ride, and multiple overhead and room options. I also utilize 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 quality styles and sounds I can bring to your project. Feel free to reach out with any questions- I'd love to help bring your vision to life!
