Bringing Your Vision to Life, Beat by Beat

Whether I'm tracking for a music legend or a brand new, up-and-coming independent artist, my philosophy and approach are exactly the same: zero-ego, total focus on the song, and serving your vision.

Here is a quick look at how we can start bringing your project to life.

Step 1: Let’s Chat

Before hitting record, I want to understand who you are and the exact sound you are looking for. Communication is key, so we will start by discussing your vision.

 

Step 2: Choose Your Recording Style

We can record your tracks in one of two ways, depending on your budget and creative goals:

Option A:

Custom Drum Programming

 

Option B:

Live Recording at Populist Recording

I perform your tracks on an electronic kit in my home studio, capturing the nuance of a live drummer.

 

I record at Populist Recording + Mastering to capture an authentic, acoustic live room sound.

Endless Flexibility:

 Because it uses MIDI, we can instantly edit drum sounds, fills, or the arrangement.

 

Pure Acoustic Vibe:

 Real drums, real room mics, and an undeniable live energy.

Budget-Friendly:

No studio rental fees and no strict scheduling limits. You save money.

 

Fast Turnaround:

I work incredibly fast in the studio, usually nailing the track in a single take.

What you get:

Full audio and MIDI stems for every individual drum, as well as stereo renderings of any effects busses.
