YouTube Drummer Covers/Collabs

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: My drumkit (obviously!), sticks, headphones, laptop and drum seat.

Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I've been told by a few musicians that my style is 'unique' and not a straight forward rock drummer.

Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

A: My YouTube channel drum covers are mostly metal, rock and alternative. However, the collaborations I've done range from 80's/90's, blues, disco and acoustic.

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I hope to add things that make the instruments or vocals stand out. Whether it's dynamics, a subtle hit. I try to make my drumming more 'colorful.'

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: I'll listen to the song once or twice and get a general feel of how the drums will sound. Then I'll transfer the song into my laptop and play along with adding anything that will make any of the other instruments or vocals stand out. Once I'm satisfied with it, I will record a few takes until the perfect one.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: Just my e-kit with interface and laptop.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: From other genres: Phil Collins, Pat Metheny, Hans Zimmer.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
