Francisco Santos on SoundBetter

Hello there! My name is Francisco and I’m a session drummer. 
 Real drums on your songs will make a huge difference and provide a deeper sound to those who will listen. I use modern and vintage drums to get the right sound for your song. The possibilities are endless.

I've been recording drums for artists in my own studio and in multiple other professional studios in the Lisbon area.
I'm specialized in Soul, Funk and in singer-songwriter but I understand how to get the right sound and vibe needed in different genres.
I also program drums.
Music is my passion so don't hesitate to reach out for a budget.
Would love to hear from you.

    I loved working with Francisco. He is an amazing drummer and was dedicated and committed from beginning to end and delivered brilliant work quickly. Communication is extremely easy and fast and he focuses 100% on giving you exactly what you are looking for. I absolutely want to work with him again and, whoever does, is definitely in great hands.

    I cannot recommend Francisco Santos enough.
    I've worked with him several times and he always delivers a unique and amazing contribution to my songs.
    When working with him you'll find that he truly listens very carefully to your song and tries to understand what you are chasing.
    He wont be happy until you are happy.
    He is super passionate about delivering his best. His musicianship is incredible, his sound is amazing and his dedication and humbleness make him one of the best musicians I know.
    Book him and I'm pretty sure you will be very happy you did so. He's a remarkable drummer
