• I’m available for both in-person recording sessions at my home studio and remote drum tracks for songwriters, bands, and producers.

  • Whether you’re working on a simple acoustic demo, a full indie-rock arrangement, a jazz record, or something more experimental, my goal is always the same: serve the song, get a great feel, and deliver tracks that sit naturally in your mix.

  • I’ve spent more than forty years playing in studios, theaters, churches, and clubs, and I’m comfortable working:

  • With detailed charts or simple demos

  • In traditional styles or open, experimental settings

  • With click tracks or without

  • On tight deadlines

  • If you send a reference track or rough mix, I’ll aim for something that feels musical, supportive, and mix-ready.

  • Recording Options

  • In-House Sessions
    Small, focused sessions can be recorded at my home setup. This works especially well for:

  • Singer-songwriter projects

  • Jazz and acoustic music

  • Indie and roots-based tracks

  • Overdubs for existing recordings

  • Remote Sessions
    Send me your track, chart, or demo and I’ll record drum parts here and deliver:

  • Multitrack WAV files

  • A quick reference mix

  • Alternate takes if needed

  • Turnaround is usually quick, and I’m happy to communicate throughout the process to make sure the part fits your vision.

  • Drum Sound & Approach

  • I focus on natural, musical drum sounds that blend easily into a mix. The goal isn’t an over-processed or hyper-modern sound unless the music calls for it. Most sessions use:

  • Warm, open-sounding acoustic drum kits

  • Traditional single-ply heads

  • Light or moderate muffling as needed

  • Cymbals chosen for warmth and blend

  • This approach works especially well for:

  • Jazz and acoustic music

  • Indie rock and folk

  • Singer-songwriter recordings

  • Theater and soundtrack work

  • Roots, blues, and Americana

  • If you have a specific reference sound, I’m happy to adjust tuning, heads, cymbals, or setup to match the track.

  • Recording Setup

  • My current session rig is simple, reliable, and designed for clean, natural drum tones:

  • Microphones

  • sE8 small-diaphragm condensers (overheads)

  • Shure SM57 (snare)

  • Shure Beta 52 (bass drum)

  • Sennheiser e604 (toms)

  • Signal Chain

  • Zoom LiveTrak L-20

  • Logic Pro recording and editing

  • This setup provides clear, balanced multitrack recordings that are easy to mix and shape to your project.

  • Core Drum Gear

  • I use a small collection of professional, studio-quality acoustic drums chosen for warmth, clarity, and musicality. Depending on the session, I can provide:

  • Compact jazz and acoustic setups

  • Medium-sized kits for indie and rock

  • A wide selection of cymbals for different textures and dynamics

  • Multiple snare drums for different tones, from dry and articulate to full and resonant

  • If you have a specific reference sound, I can tailor the setup to fit the track.

  • Booking

  • To discuss a session, send:

  • A demo or rough mix

  • Tempo and feel notes

  • Any references or artist comparisons

  • Deadline (if applicable)

  • From there we can talk about approach, sound, and scheduling.
