Live Drums, Percussion, MIDI Drums.

Brent England is a drummer, percussionist, arranger, and composer. He spent much of the first two decades of the 2000s as a recording artist on numerous records, singles and commercials. Brent toured across the Midwest performing live to support those records, rubbing elbows with the likes of Kid Rock, Staind, Cypress Hill, Barenaked Ladies, Sister Hazel, Vertical Horizon, The Samples, The Old 97's, The Why Store, Lenny Kravitz, Susan Tedeschi, Alabama, Burlap To Cashmere, Vanilla Ice and many others along the way.

These days Brent has since parked the touring van and put the road cases away. He works out of his Indianapolis-based production studio and is equipped to record and program drums, percussion, guitars, bass, and vocals for your project, no matter where you live. Recent projects include recording artist Wils Bach from Los Angeles. “Brent did an amazing job on these tracks. I sent him what I thought were already fully realized ideas, but he took them to the next level. I am also in love with some of the drum sounds he was able to get. Highly recommend”.

Brent has a Bachelor’s degree and a Performer’s Certificate from Indiana University’s Jacob School of Music (where he studied with pop-rock icon Kenny Aranoff) and a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Ball State University.

Interview with Brent England Music

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I was a Music Major in college, played professionally for many years, currently work in the education field as an administrator. I spent more than 10 years teaching high school jazz band, concert band and music theory. I began recording in my studio 10 years ago.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is creating the right part for the song. In many cases this involves taking a song from an artist and arranging the instrument parts, groove and form. I enjoy receiving a rough demo and turning it into a produced song, with guitars, bass, keys, drums and percussion. Most of the time these parts, or ideas, end up on the final recording.
