Why use Custom Drum Tracks?

Experience

You're in safe hands

As a musician of over a decade's worth of professional experience, Joe has had the opportunity to work extensively in a variety of professional settings and genres and has developed a varied portfolio.

"We had Joe for an intensive multi-day session at The Mother Lode to record drums for nearly 30 pieces.  The styles ranged from folk through folk rock to real hard rock, via funk and the occasional quirky reggae or similar song.  He mapped out a plan for each song with 1-2 listens and a brief discussion of the piece's genesis and meaning.  And he generally nailed the piece by second take.  Further takes were only needed to give options for flourishes and fills.  His feel and appreciation for the music across a range of styles was outstanding, which sat above an immaculate technique.  It was a pleasure to watch a master at work!  Very happy studio and very happy clients."
