For over a decade, I’ve been recording drums remotely for a wide range of artists and styles—from Punk, Metal, and Drum and Bass to Funk, Pop, and even Jazz. The process is seamless, efficient, and designed to provide exceptional value through a high-end, professional service.
To me, delivering anything less than the highest standard of sound and musicianship isn’t an option. I take immense pride in producing tracks that are both sonically outstanding and creatively inspiring.
I love collaborating with people, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a project that could benefit from my drumming and creative input. Let’s make something amazing together!
How does it work?
1️⃣ Share Your Song: Start by navigating to the Remote Drum Sessions page in the Shop. Select the number of songs, agree to the terms and conditions and pay for your session. You’ll then be taken to a secure page to upload your song(s) and give me any notes or instructions you have.
2️⃣ Initial Approval: Once I have received your track(s), I’ll record myself playing along using a GoPro. This video lets you review my performance and ensure it aligns with your vision. (Note: this is NOT the final performance!)
3️⃣ Studio Recording: After your approval, I’ll head into the studio to professionally record your drum tracks. Once completed, I’ll deliver high-quality files via file transfer that perfectly match your style.
What’s Included in a Typical Remote Drum Session:
- Raw Individual Drum Stems (kick, snare, toms, overheads, hats, room, etc.)
- Processed Individual Drum Stems with EQ and compression tailored to your music style
- Stereo Drum Mix crafted for easy integration into your mix
Add Video!
You also have the option to add video for any or all of the songs during the recording session. For £50 per song, I’ll capture high-quality footage of me recording your track(s) from THREE different angles and deliver the raw unedited video along with the drum files. This is perfect if you’re planning to shoot a music video and want professional footage from the session to cut in. And don’t worry—I’ll even make myself look pretty… ish!
Lead times:
I typically deliver everything within 7-10 days of your order. However, if I’m touring or have other commitments, delivery times may vary. That said, I’ll always keep you updated and confirm my availability before we begin.

FAQs
❓ What if I need revisions?
Each session includes one round of free revisions per song, which must be requested within the same session. After that, any additional revisions will be charged at £20 per track.
For major revisions (e.g., changes to the overall performance or structure of the song), I’ll provide a GoPro playthrough of the updated performance for you to review before re-recording. For smaller revisions (e.g., individual drum hits or minor adjustments), I’ll make the changes directly in the studio without a playthrough.
❓ What format will the drum tracks be in?
I provide high-quality WAV files. You’ll receive both raw individual drum stems (kick, snare, toms, overheads, room, etc.) and processed stems with EQ and compression. I also include a stereo drum mix for easy reference.
❓ Can you match a specific drumming style or reference track?
Absolutely! If you have a particular drummer or song in mind, just let me know. I’ll do my best to capture the feel and energy you’re looking for.
❓ What if I don’t have a click track?
That’s not a problem. If your song wasn’t recorded to a click, I can easily build a tempo map to record to. However, for the best results, I recommend sending a version recorded to a click if possible.
❓ Can I request specific drum sounds or mic techniques?
Of course! If you have a preference for drum tuning, mic choices, or processing style, let me know, and I’ll tailor the session to your vision.
❓ Do you record with electronic drums or only acoustic?
I offer both! If you want the raw, organic sound of a real acoustic drum kit, I’ll track live drums in the studio. If you prefer programmed drums, I can create high-quality MIDI drum tracks, starting at £100 per song, depending on complexity.
❓ Can I use the video footage for commercial releases?
Yes! If you add the video option, you’re free to use the footage however you like—music videos, social media, behind-the-scenes content, or promotional material.
❓ Do you offer refunds?
Since every drum session is custom-recorded, I don’t offer refunds. However, I’ll work closely with you to make sure you’re happy with the final results!
