I deliver high quality, multi-tracks of drum performances for your recordings, from my own studio. Through this remote collaboration, I’m able to provide drum tracks for your music without travel costs, fees for set up time, or scheduling issues. Although nothing replaces in-person collaboration, this approach is becoming more desirable, especially considering growing budgetary limits, our increasing eco-consiousness and the ease of digital connectivity.
