Carl-Michael Grabinger on SoundBetter

Hey there, I am a session drummer from Lübeck, Germany. I've been playing drums & percussion for over 30 years and built my own studio couple years ago where I record vintage and modern drums through high-class preamps and mics for a living. You'll get unique sounds with a human feel or quantised takes which are perfect to add some loops on top.

Most of the time I'm on the road playing and recording for a lot of germans top artists and tv shows. My other passion is to record drums in my studio.
I started building my own recording studio 8 years ago and invested a lot of time tweaking the sounds I am recording. There's nothing more satisfying than finding the right sound and groove for your song ... almost :).

This is how it works:
- We'll check the vibe and general sound for your song
- You send your files via WeTransfer or similar (rough mix with or/and without your drums)
- I'll send you an mp3 of your song with my drum take on it to be sure that this is the unique sound & style you're looking for
- After talking about any changes you may want I'm starting to record several takes and samples

Yeah!

    Grabi is my favorite Drummer on earth. His playing speaks to my soul.
    Besides from touring the world as a rhythm-section, we've been playing in the studio on many multi-platinum albums (and also share a love for good coffee).

    Grabi is one of Germany's top drummers. Great feel, high energy and a wonderful drumsound! I was lucky to play many concerts with him and it has always been a fantastic experience. Also a very nice guy and simply great to deal with!
