Endorse War Drum MixingAll of the War Drum Mixing team is absolutely incredible. Though I had a general vision for my project, their great minds and collective creativity produced an even greater product than what I could have asked for. Rob and the rest of the team outdo themselves tremendously, and I wouldn't want to trust anyone else with my music.
Rob with War Drum Mixing is and has been one of the best engineers, producer, and artist. His (their) focus on clear, clean and satisfying mixes as well as the mastering is second to none. Satisfaction at every step and point within the project is a welcomed and appreciated service that they don’t take for granted. I will use this company (studio) and it’s engineers for all of my work as well as artist I work with. Above the expectation in the mix and mastering. It says five star, I’ll give it a 10 ⭐️

Interview with War Drum Mixing

Q: Analog or digital and why?

- WHY THE NAME WAR DRUM? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?Nov 16, 2019
The logo itself is of a War Drummer from the Civil War era. These drummers were responsible for keeping cadence so that men moving forward would progress towards the enemy in one accord. The drum cadence kept all the men in step and helped keep the line (also referred as to a Volley) straight and unified. Our brand is rich in symbology.
