For Musicians

You've got the song. You just need drums.

Real drums. Real kits. A drummer who serves the song instead of playing over it. Send me your track and let's talk about what it needs.

Get started

How it works

Four steps. I track everything remote from Tampa Bay so you never have to leave your DAW.

1

Send your song

Rough mix, MP3 with a click track, BPM, and a note about the feel you want.

2

We talk

Quick back and forth about the vibe, the reference tracks, and what the song actually needs.

3

I track

Vintage Slingerland, Gretsch, or GMS kit through real mics into Studio One Pro.

4

Stems back

Multitrack stems delivered fast, ready to drop into your session.

Why a real drummer matters

Programmed drums work for some songs. For others, they're the reason your record never feels finished.

✓
I serve the song. Brushes, rods, or mallets when your verse needs air. Full kick when the chorus earns it. I don't play over your song.
✓
Real kits, real tone. Vintage Slingerland, Gretsch, and GMS Grand Master Series. You hear wood and metal, not samples.
✓
50 years behind the kit. NYC, LA, Nashville, Austin, now Tampa Bay. Rock, country, Americana, blues, funk, indie, worship.
✓
Fast turnaround. Rush available if your release date is breathing down your neck.
✓
Works anywhere. Files delivered digital. You could be in Tampa, Toronto, or Tokyo. Doesn't matter.
✓
No jazz, no EDM. Just songs. If you've got a record that needs drums that fit, I've got you.

"Joey stopped by to help me test out the Ludwigs... laid down a phat groove on a song I'm working on."

— Jim Gilmour, SouthView Arts Recording Studio
