Luke Markham
Session Drummer/Remote Mixing
Professional drummer based in New York City. Available for high level live or programmed drum tracking and intermediate mixing, mastering, and editing. Currently using Pro Tools 12.6 so I am available for work on cloud collaboration projects as well!
I have a drum tracking studio here in Brooklyn and am capable of remotely tracking live drums or programming drums of just about any genre or concept. I am a drummer with over 15 years of experience who has been making a living performing and recording in the city for the past 4 years. I'm very comfortable with a click, efficient in the studio, and flexible when it comes to creative input from the artist.
Additionally, I am entering the world of Mixing and Mastering and am offering low prices on those two services. I am quite fluent in Pro Tools and am available for comping, editing, and quantizing work as well.

Interview with Luke Markham
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: My favorite album that I've been a part of thus far is "A Dark and Stormy Day" by Alessandro Fadini. I feel that this performance captured who I am as a musician more so than any project I've been a part of in the past.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Editing, mixing, and mastering my first album as a bandleader. Hopefully to be released this winter!
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My drumming will be exactly what you need for your project. Whether it be subtle, or a track-defining groove.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Creating drum parts for an artist and helping them realize their song's full potential even if they don't have rhythmic ideas yet in place.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Support, creativity, but most importantly flexibility to fit the artist or producer's vision.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
