REMOTE DRUM RECORDING FOR HIRE
Desert Rat StudiosIn business to bring your music to a new level with well-performed, well-captured raw drum and percussion multitrack recordings, up to 8 separate channels! All done remotely with great gear (see MY EQUIPMENT below) in a well-treated room with a high ceiling. Check out the videos on this page — all songs with drums and/or percussion recorded at my studio.

Though this studio was recently built, I’m NOT new to session drumming. Been recording drum tracks since 1995 for demos, singles, EPs, full-length albums, TV & Radio commercials, and more in Boston, Chicago, and beyond — all while performing nationally and internationally for concerts, tours, and residencies. (see HOME, ABOUT, VIDEO & MUSIC pages).
I’m mainly a compositional drummer: a composer whose main instruments are drums & percussion. So my painstaking and time-taking attention to rhythm, phrasing, dynamics, texture, implement choice etc is all to serve and elevate YOUR music. You’re getting something special!
And let me address you vocalists out there. Not getting the TLC you want? As I said, my choices are all to serve and elevate your music. If it’s a song, believe me, the last thing I want to do is step all over the singer. Your vocals contain so much of the meaning and emotion! It’s become a sort of specialty of mine to create just the right envelope for the vocals, to add nuance, punctuation, to embrace the containment, amplify the releases, and deepen the musical conversation that each song is (or should be).
