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
