korey dean on SoundBetter

im a drummer, capable of recording acoustic drum tracks from my home studio. i can program drums in midi and i have some experience mixing and mastering as well. i record videos for youtube, editing it all myself and i also do graphic design for logos

i have a natural feeling for rhythm and creative ability behind the kit, its what i spend a great deal of my life doing. if you have a song, i have drums for it. recorded in my drum studio or specially crafted in midi on my computer. you will get something decent from me first try, and changed or altered to your specifications shortly after, if you dont find yourself completely happy with it that is. i have some experience mixing and mastering as well, only for my own projects and a few online collaborations so far
