​"DRUMS TRACKED AT THE VERY NORTHERN TIP OF UK IN JOHN O'GROATS"
​
WRITE THAT IN YOUR INLAY. I HAVE SOME LOVELY DRUMS, CYMBALS & PERCUSSION HERE AND EVERYTHING I NEED TO GET THEM TRACKED AND SENT TO YOU, WHEREVER YOU ARE. I'M 100% UP FOR EXPERIMENTING, WHATEVER WORKS WORKS. MIGHT NOT EVEN BE A CONVENTIONAL DRUM KIT. ALWAYS ON THE HUNT FOR COOL & INTERESTING SOUNDS. I'D BE HOPELESS AT JAZZ, METAL, MILLIONS OF TIME SIGNATURE CHANGES. HAVE A LOOK AT THE LITTLE LIST OF REFERENCES, SHOULD GIVE YOU A GOOD FEEL OF WHAT I'LL DO WELL.
​
- PROCESS & RATES -
​
PROCESS // ALL I NEED IS A DRUMLESS WAV & A TEMPO. MAYBE A REFERENCE & SOME IDEAS. OR NOT! I'LL SEND YOU A ROUGH STEREO MIX OF WHAT I'M THINKING & YOU GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK. MAYBE HAVE A QUICK CALL/CHAT. ONCE YOUR HAPPY, I'LL SEND YOU ALL THE STEMS & A STEREO MIX TO SHOW HOW I HEAR IT.
​
RATES // ALWAYS HAPPY TO DISCUSS. LET ME KNOW YOUR BUDGET & I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. I'VE HAD PEOPLE LEND ME SOME PROPER KINDNESS OVER THE YEARS SO I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO RETURN THAT WHERE I CAN. SO JUST EMAIL TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROJECT & WE'LL COME TO A FAIR ARRANGEMENT. ALSO, THE MORE TRACKS AT ONE TIME, THE BETTER DEAL I CAN DO.
