What I Can Offer
Anything from your project studio to a Hollywood soundtrack, after playing professionally for close to four decades, my approach is always to focus on the groove and the song. In that time, I’ve been lucky enough to work with many incredible artists and talented producers, sometimes being called upon to reproduce a specific part, but often asked for my own thoughts on what the track needs.
Along with several kits to choose from, doing all my remote sessions with an experienced engineer means we can really hone in on the sounds you’re looking for.
I’m also happy to recommend other drummers if I feel I’m not the right guy for your project.
