Brazilian drummer with more than 20 years of experience with: Bossa-Nova, Samba, Funk, Fusion. Both in the studio and live. Also do mixing and mastering.
Hello, I´m Bruno Tessele and I record high quality drum tracks with great sounding drums going throught analog gear to make it "hotter".
I will send the multitrack wav files from the recording with up to 16 microphones (depending on the genre and style we´re recording).
I have more than 20 years of experience in studio and live playing in these styles: brazilian music, funk, jazz, fusion and rock.
In my studio, I´m able to record: Brazilian Music (Bossa-Nova, etc), some dead and processed drums and also Rock stuff, open sounding or more dead as well. (don´t do Metal with double bass-drum)
I´m a Berklee College of Music Alumni.
Endorsed by Evans and Promark, I have two main drum sets wich are:
Vintage Gretsch Round Badge (from the 60´s): 22" bass drum, 13" tom and 16" floor tom.
Vintage Gretsch Round Badge (also from the 60´s): 20" bass drum, 12" tom and 14" floor tom.
Plus a few great snare drums.
Microfones include: Electrovoice RE20, a pair of Blue BlueBird Condenser, Shure SM57, among others.
I can also record some brazilian percussion if you need it.
