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.

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.
