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 12 years. I use Logic Pro X, have excellent mics and use API and Neve 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!

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

I am a songwriter and do most of my music production in my home Studio before getting my final mix.I have used Jason's drumming on many of my projects and will continue. His style patient professionalism and willingness to adapt makes him a joy to work with.My last project was a reggae song but was looking for more of a fusion R&B Hip Hop feel and he delivered.
