​

How it works:

​

1. You email me a demo recording of the track you want drums for.

(I can write your drum part for you, you can put together a MIDI drum part which I can learn, or you can tell me what to play - I read music too, so feel free to chart anything out and provide performance notes).

​

2. If I believe that I can do your song justice, I will give you a quote. Usually £90.00 per song with a duration of 3-4 minutes.

​

3. If you accept the quote, I will provide you with an invoice and a signed Musician's Union Session Agreement contract, which you can print, sign and return a copy to me. You will then pay half of the total fee upfront via bank transfer or PayPal (PayPal incurs an additional charge due to their fees).

​

4. I'll begin rehearsing your song and record your drum parts usually within a few days. I'll do three separate initial takes and put together a rough MP3 mix preview for each one, which I will send to you via Dropbox.

​

5. Over the three takes, you should have enough options to mix together a complete drum take for your song, but if you'd like any changes done to the performance, I will be happy to keep working until you are happy.

​

6. When you are happy, you pay the remaining balance, and I will email you the individual, high quality, raw, unedited drum stems for each of the takes via Dropbox. You will receive up to 8 stems per take in total, from the following options:

​

- Overhead Left

- Overhead Right

- Kick Drum Front

- Snare Drum Top

- Hi Tom

- Mid Tom

- Lo Tom

- Under Snare

- Hi Hats

- Room

​

7. You can then import the raw drum stems into your DAW to begin editing, mixing & processing.
