Multi-Platinum drummer with decades of experience and performances on multiple GRAMMY winning albums.
Hello! I'm Sterling Laws, a drummer and producer. Based in Los Angeles, proudly from Anacortes, Washington. I grew up on punk and indie heroes. My mom played drums, I followed suit, and have since had the good fortune of touring and recording around the globe. Artists I have worked with include Olivia Rodrigo, Kim Gordon, Liz Phair, Chappell Roan, The War On Drugs, Conan Gray, Lo Moon, Linda Perry, Natasha Bedingfield, Matt Berninger, LP, Jade Bird, and many more.
I record drums, percussion, loops, drum machines, and synths from my studio. I have many variations of vintage drums, cymbals, microphones and recording gear, allowing me to tailor each recording to the perfect sound for your song. From big pop drums to tight indie jams, heavy rock to americana ballads, let's work together to realize your vision and elevate your music.

It was such a pleasure working with sterling. He was very professional and the turn around was so quick. He gave 3 different takes on drums with processed and unprocessed multitracks.
I highly recommend !!!

Amazing delivery. This is my second time working with Sterling, and both times his drums have brought a new excitement to me about the songs. The parts are written and performed expertly and are recorded to such a great quality that you could use them as they are.
Sterling's attention to detail and consideration for the song and reference tracks is excellent, and everything about getting him on board levels up the professionalism and quality. Thanks again man!

The best I could choose for this! Understood the vibe we were going for and gave us a complimentary performance with multiple options to choose from. Will definitely be the first I think about when I need drums for a new song. Glad I chose you Sterling!

Wow! These are the best takes I've had for one of my songs. Delighted with the sound quality, the musicianship and the creativity. Super professional delivery with multi tracks, stereo bounces, percussion - more than you'd need!
Can't wait to work with Sterling again - great experience all-round. Can't recommend working with him enough!

Recommend Sterling as a human and drummer. His recordings are very professional and he gives you/your engineer/producer a lot to work with to get exactly what you want. Quick turnaround too.

If you want a real pro to inject life into your track, who makes you feel seen and your vision understood, Sterling is your drummer. He was incredibly kind and thoughtful during the entire process and I could immediately tell that he took the care and time to analyze my references and to understand the song, and play to it, injecting just enough of his own creatively and personality without compromising the original vision. His performance, tones, sound quality are unmatched. I highly recommend.
Sterling was perfect. He completely understood the musical direction and delivered drum and percussion parts that worked seamlessly to support the existing tracks. I had a bridge section that required a different feel and he created some overdubs that built the energy in just the right way. The sound of the drums themselves and the recording quality were top notch. I will definitely use Sterling again!

Sterling is hands down the greatest human and drummer to collaborate with. Couldn't be happier with his programming and drumming. Professional, kind and thorough. Thanks Sterling!
