Leander Widmoser on SoundBetter

Hi, I'm Leander, a professional drummer and studio owner based in Germany. With over 600 recorded songs in my career, I've spent the last decade specializing in delivering top-tier drum tracks, mainly for pop and rock productions. I'm also passionate about providing creative percussion and sound effects overdubs to make your tracks truly stand out.

When you work with me, you’re getting up to 3 drum tracks. I can provide up to 32 channels of drums (raw and/or mixed), along with extra layers of percussion, percussive sound effects, and beat programming—whatever best suits the song at hand.
I consider myself a song-oriented player who provides fresh ideas when they are wanted and needed.
I work both remotely (via Zoom) and independently in my studio.
I endorse Zildjian, Vic Firth, Aquarian, and Meinl Percussion.

by Hinni
I found him on Youtube and really liked his sound. Turns out we kind of had similar friends, so I asked him to play my Song "Hinni - Indigo Eyes". He did a really good job on this, very nice energy, very quick delivery, good sound. So couldn't ask for more
by Fabo
An exceptional session drummer. He intuitively knew what the songs needed and delivered top-tier, tight, and professional recordings.
by Caro Kelley
A fabulous dummer. Studio recordings are meticulous, he both knew exactly what I wanted from the demo, but also was willing to offer his own ideas. A total professional, and having played together before, a kind human being who I will continue to recommend to anyone who needs a drummer.
by Patrick
Fantastic Drummer. Always high vibe - constructive and professional. We recorded countless sessions together. It has always been flawless and perfect, personal & soundwise.
Thanks soo much Leander.
by Fabian Pichler
As a producer, the best part of working with Leander is the peace of mind. You send a scratch track, and you get back multi-tracks that are already phased-aligned, perfectly edited, and tonally rich. His analog chain really makes a difference—the drums don't just sit in the mix; they glue the whole production together.
by Quirin Müller
Rock-solid time feel and musical sensitivity throughout. He always supports the groove and knows precisely when to push and when to stay restrained.
by Janko Raseta
I worked with Leander on numerous occasions. His recordings are the hallmark of musicality and technical prowess. Highly recommend!
