Can't keep a beat? Tired of programming that drum machine? Need the
feel of a real drummer? Look no further! We can provide custom, professional
quality drum tracks for your studio or home recordings quickly and
affordably.

How does it work?

You send us the basic arrangement and we will record acoustic or
electronic drum tracks and send a demo MP3 back to you for approval. When
you are satisfied, I will ship a CD/DVD with all the individual drum
tracks to you so you can edit and mix however you want. We use Pro Tools
HD version 7.3 to record the tracks, and create up to 13 individual WAV
files (24-bit/48 KHz unless otherwise specified) for acoustic drums, or a
single stereo track for e-drums. WAV format can be easily imported into
Pro Tools, Sonar, Cakewalk, Cubase, and a variety of other multi-track
recording applications for PC and Mac.

How can I get started?

You can email, or upload an MP3, or send an audio CD, or data CD (with
WAV or MP3 files) with your basic tracks and musical arrangement. We prefer a click track, but drum machine/loops or existing drums are OK too. It works
best if you can tell us the tempo, then include 8 or more clicks at the
start of the song (and any tempo changes) so we can sync our own click.
This makes the tracks we send back to you a little easier to listen to
(since the click won't be there). You can also pan the click or existing
drums hard left or right so that we can adjust the volume we need (keep in
mind that, the mix we send back to you will lose any stereo effect from
your original audio file) or you can even send the click on an individual
track. If you didn't use a click, we will follow your existing track.

If you have ideas about a particular sound you are looking for (i.e.,
fat snare, tight snare, etc.), please let us know when you submit your track.
The more you can tell us about the sound or style you are looking for the
faster I can get the sound and style you are looking for, or if you prefer
we can just go with what we feel after listening to your track.

If you need a loop (of real acoustic drums or e-drums), let us know
the tempo, style, length of the loop (4, 8, 16 bars, etc) and any particular
type of sound you are looking for.

What will I receive?

So that you can get the best results in your mix, we will send you the
individual mono tracks. If you have Pro Tools, we can even send you the
entire session. An example of the acoustic drum tracks you might receive
is:

Kick inside mic

kick outside mic

Snare Top

Overhead 1

Overhead 2

12" tom

14" tom

Hi Hat

Ride

Room


Of course, depending on the style and needs of the tracks, we may use
different mic'ing techniques, or we may not always use all the drums/mics.
Also, each track you will receive is dry (i.e. without effects; however we
may EQ and/or compress certain tracks unless you specify otherwise.
However, if you prefer more tracks, less tracks, a stereo mixdown, or
something else, let us know so we can get you exactly what you need.

Included in my rate, is USPS shipping (in the U.S.). If you require
international or overnight shipping, the cost will only be the exact cost
from Fedex, DHL, etc. Why do we ship CDs or DVDs? A typical song (10 drum tracks, 4-5 minutes of 24 bit 48 1KHz) uses about 100MB/min of disk space, so one song can easily fill a CD and at that size, FedEx is still faster
than the internet (for most folks)...although we can FTP on request as
well...

What are some benefits?

Our studio drums stay setup in the studio where we have spent
countless hours tuning drums, turning knobs, pushing buttons, and tweaking mic
positions in search of that perfect drum sound. There are no roadies,
cartage costs, setup or travel expenses, etc. You save time and money.
