Colin Brewton on SoundBetter

Drummer, producer, and engineer with over 10 years of experience in ccm/indie/punk/metal music.

Hey! My name is Colin and I'm a session drummer, producer, and mixing engineer based out of Birmingham, AL!

I will record and edit quality drum tracks for your song all from my home studio. I'm happy to work with whatever inspiration, references, or styles you are going for! My goal is to serve your song the best I can by providing an excellent performance and sound that will exceed your vision.

I bring a strong songwriting and production mindset to every song I work on. With over 15 years of drumming experience and more than a decade of recording and producing, I’ve learned to approach music from a big-picture perspective. Whether I’m behind the kit or in the producer’s chair, I focus on what the song is trying to communicate and how each element contributes to that goal. I think that broader view gives me an edge. I’m not just thinking about the drums, but how the entire arrangement can serve the music as a whole.

My live drum recording services include recording, editing, processing, drum samples, and percussion overdubs/loops if wanted.

One of the hardest working and talented musicians I know. He always finds the small details to improve whatever song he is working whether its drums or production. Any track is better just for having Colin on it
by Andrew Hardie
Colin is not only one of the best drummers I know but also has a great mind for production and songwriting. Truly a jack of all trades when it comes to production. You cannot go wrong with choosing him for your next musical endeavor.
