Session drummer with 30 years of experience, dozens of albums, and tours with New Life Worship, Desperation Band, Kari Jobe and Paul Baloche. Real drums from my Colorado Springs studio, delivered in 48–72 hours.
I've been drumming for 30 years, played on dozens of records both live and studio, and toured with some of the biggest names in worship music. I track real drums in my own Colorado Springs studio with three kits, 10 snares and a Logex 8 console. I also do drum programming, editing and time alignment.
Here's how it works. We talk about the vibe and sound you want, then you send me a stereo rough mix without drums, bounced from 00:00, along with the song's BPM. I send you an MP3 of version 1 with my drums, we go over any changes, and once we land the final take you get all the individual drum stems. If you want both live drums and programming on a song, I'm happy to work out a deal.

check_circleVerifiedVery satisfied！
check_circleVerifiedJared was great ! He knew how to follow the groove of the song and give it what it needed !
He was also super fast and understanding of what we wanted.
Definitely recommend working with this guy !
I worked with Jared on a CCM single. He did such an awesome job that I asked him to do my EP too! As I'm tracking the rest of my EP, I'm constantly impressed by how the drums sound and feel. Jared did a fantastic job and was a joy to work with!
Interview with Jared Henderson
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been playing professionally for about 15 years. Grew up playing in church and eventually started touring and recording with "The Desperation Band'. This eventually took me into studio world, session drumming, and playing with numerous other artists.

A: Pop, pop rock, singer songwriter.

Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I believe that I bring energy, musicality, consistency, great tones, and most importantly GROOVE.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: First I turn on the song and sit at the drums and see where my instincts take me. I'll listen back and refine the parts, dial in tones, and fine tune the direction. Then I'll land on the parts and record it and make it sure it feels great. Next we can do revisions and get the song how you envisioned it!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: All mics run through an amazing old Logex 8 console (similar to an API), punchy with great EQ. I have 3 drum sets to choose from and 10 snares, as well as hard drives full of samples if we do any programming:) I track into Pro Tools 12.
