DRUM SOUNDS

are as important as the drum part. They frame your music and tell the listener what type of space you want them to imagine.

I create unique drum sounds that help you tell the story of your song. Whether you want something specific from a recording you like or you want a few different options I can give you the best drum sounds anywhere.

I record at Narwhal Studios in Chicago. We have two amazing sounding tracking rooms, a killer drum collection, a Neve 5088 console and a deep microphone locker.

CUSTOM DRUM TRACKS

$400/song

My process starts with a zoom call at the drum kit. We will talk through your song and I will play ideas for you. I will send you a fully mixed stereo drum track as well as the individual stems. All recording and mixing happens at Narwhal, my recording studio in Chicago, IL.
