I’ll provide you with the exact groove & feel your song needs!
I've been playing for over 40 years. I'm well versed in all styles and specialize in Funk/Hip-Hop/ and Pop. Groove is the most important thing for any song. My goal is to always play what the song needs. I've played in numerous show bands, wedding bands, toured and have taught for many years. I'm a confident, self-taught drummer who eventually went on to earn his Bachelor's of Music from Toronto's Humber College. I combine my natural musical abilities with my formal training to record exactly the type of groove and feel you need.

Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I create a part that supports your piece; shots, break-downs or builds etc. Mix it from drummers perspective, and adjust levels to what you would like best Provide raw stems of the entire kit for you to mix to your exact tastes, as well as an mp3 stereo mixed version
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: My most popular requests are for my pop/RnB feel on tracks
I was the writer and Session Drummer in this production
All I need from you is the track you want drums on recorded to a click (include BPM). Mp3 or wav format is fine. 2 revisions max. I’ll have your raw stems to you within 48 hours.
