How It Works

Personal, honest, musical

Step 1

Send Me Your Song

Send over your track, rough demo, or work-in-progress.

Step 2

I'll Listen Personally

I'll determine whether the song is ready for drums.

Step 3

We'll Gather What's Needed

Reference tracks, notes, ideas, and required files come next.

Step 4

We'll Talk Through The Right Approach

Not sure what the song needs? We'll decide that after I listen.

Step 5

I'll Get To Work

Once everything is ready, I'll record drum tracks tailored to your music.

Working On An EP Or Album?

Let's talk.

Multi-song projects often benefit from a more customized approach. Once I understand the scope of your project, I'll build a plan that best serves the music and your goals.

My Promise

Honest, thorough feedback.

I will be honest and thorough about what I believe I can do for your music.

If I think your song is ready, I'll tell you. If I think it needs more work first, I'll tell you that too.

My goal is to help you make the best musical decision for the song and deliver drum tracks you'll be proud to release.

Ready?

I'd love to hear what you're working on. Send the song and enough context for a thoughtful first listen.

Submitting starts a personal review, not an automatic booking. The conversation starts with the song.
