Georgios on SoundBetter

Hi, I’m Georgios – a Musicians Institute graduate and drummer with 20+ years of experience. I know the story: finding a drummer who’s reliable, punctual and truly serves the song can be tough. I’m here to change that. Whether it’s rock, metal, blues, country, or anything in between, I bring feel, precision and professionalism to every project.

Although my main focus is rock and metal, my drumming experience spans a wide range of genres – from country and pop to industrial metal. I’ve performed extensively across Greece and Los Angeles, playing in iconic venues such as Whisky a Go Go and The Viper Room in L.A., as well as Gagarin 205 – one of Greece’s most renowned live music stages. At just 21, I also had the honor of performing as a percussionist with the National Opera of Greece.

PROCESS
I’ll need an MP3 or WAV file of your song along with any instructions or music references. Recording to a click track is strongly preferred, but if not, I’ll still play my best to serve your song and bring it to the next level. I can record either acoustic drums or V-Drums (Superior Drummer 3) – your choice. After we finalize all details, I will record the drums and send you a high-quality MP3 demo of your song with my drums. If you’re happy with the result, I’ll provide all the individual tracks.

NOTE: I cannot play any Death Metal, Technical Death Metal etc.

Endorse Georgios

by Jess P. Tzimas
I know Georgios since 2015 when my band was looking for a drummer and shorty after that we recorded a single called Fall Prey and its music vid. Great musicianship, pro attitude, always friendly, open minded. He will always do the right choices to the song. I can't recommend him enough. You must hire this versatile drummer and you'll not be disappointed!

I had the pleasure and luck of finding and working with Georgios even before he created his Soundbetter. He worked on one of my acoustic tracks that needed drums and some light percussion (shakers and tambourine) and he did a phenomenal job. He did not overpower the song and added the right amount of “spice” to it. Cannot recommend enough.

An all-around exceptional rock & metal drummer!
we have so far worked in 2 productions together and he will be my go-to drummer for more.
Technically apt, with a great feel for the music and deeply creative.
Moreover a great team player that performs 100% for the music, always true to his mission of delivering drums that elevate the song.
From styles to phrasing to consistency, if you have the opportunity to hire him for your project, do so..! You will not look back.
