Jason Meekins on SoundBetter

Hi, My name is Jason Meekins and I am a session drummer from Austin, Texas. I've been playing drums for over 20 year and I have been recording drums from my home studio for the past 5 years. I use Logic Pro X and I have excellent mics and mic pre amps. I play Paiste cymbals and Pearl drums! I'd love the opportunity to drum on your song!

All I need from you is an mp3 of your song with any instructions you have on drums. It would be best if your song is recorded to a metronome. If it isn't I can play right along with you and still hold a very steady and tasty groove. My rate is budget friendly and I usually deliver in 24-48hours.

I will send you a stereo mix wav file of my drums for your song, or I can send you each individual mic chanel (13 total) for you or your engineer to mix in your studio environment.

I look forward to working with you!

Contact me through the green button above and let's get to work.

    Stellar drumming, stellar sound! And on top of that, an overall great guy. This is the second time my band has worked with Jason, and certainly not the last. I couldn't be happier.

    Jason is an excellent drummer, with outstanding sound quality in his recordings. He's a top pro and it showed once again on our second project together. He interprets well the style and beat that works with my songs. I like his attention to detail and swift delivery time.

    My experience with Jason on the first two songs of my album, can best be described as "Stellar". His focus laser-beams on the client's satisfaction and he always delivers in a timely manner. I look forward to working with him on the remaining songs.

    Jason delivered a one and done track on the first take. He kept the beat simple and tight building energy along with the composition, as I requested, while implementing his style of play. He is a pro and has my recommendation.
