Ben Stone on SoundBetter

I specialise in Recording real Drums and Percussion from my own studio. I have worked with many high profile artists as well as many up and coming singer songwriters. I have honed my skills over the last 25 years as a professional musician working with artists such as - Sir Tom Jones, Mike + The Mechanics, Bonnie Tyler, Helene Fischer etc...

Hi, I'm a professional musician, musical director, producer, songwriter and mix engineer. I mean... I mix yes but am I a mix engineer? Lots of people say they are lots of things so let me clear this up. Having worked closely with some amazing pro mix engineers I would say no I am not in the same league, but... I have mixed many many tracks I have written, co/written and produced for Netflix, BBC, Nat Geo as well as for artist such as Roachford. I have used the skills I've developed over the years to know how to engineer and mix drums to the point where I get almost any genre sounding as authentic as humanly possible. It's always a learning process to me and my many clients from all over the world have loved every pre-mix I have sent them.

I always wear a producers hat when I record and play drums! It makes for a much more musical performance no matter what genre I'm performing in.

I've worked with Artist like Sir Tom Jones, Mike + The Mechanics, Bonnie Tyler, Helene Fischer, Semino Rossi, Rick Wakeman and programmed for artist such as DuranDuran and NERD.

Ben never fails when it comes to playing and recording drums.

As a producer, I've used Ben's remote service for lots of studio sessions. His performance and sound are always just what the song needs and it really shows that he puts 110% into every part of the recording process.

As a mix engineer too I barely have to do anything to the sound of the drums as they're always recorded so well. Ben will always be my number one choice when it comes to drums.

In the last 3 years Ben has recorded and produced drums and percussion for both my personal instrumental project, and also for songs with my songwriting partner Steve.

With every recording session, Ben has instinctively recorded the right parts, with the right feel and dynamic, and with the right drums. Ben's playing is exciting, dynamic and great value for money. Superbly played and recorded drums are so easy to mix and make a project SO much easier 'saving' time and money. A genuinely friendly guy and a great drummer producing superb high quality drums. What's not to like.
