Session Drummer/Drum Studio

Ben Barter on SoundBetter

I am a session drummer/touring drummer for Lorde with my own studio space in LA available for drum tracking in person or a remote session.

Hi there, I’m originally from New Zealand and have been living in LA since 2015. I’ve been the touring drummer for Lorde since she began in 2013 and have played with other artists such as Broods, Jarryd James, Passion Pit, Michi and others.

I have a studio space in East LA where I have tracked drums for artists such as Ashe, Madison Beer, Broods, Katelyn Tarver, Michi & more. And have worked with producers such as Joel Little, Tommy English, Leroy Clampitt and others.
