Studio Drummer & Engineer

Samuel Newham on SoundBetter

Hi! I'm Sam, an experienced and seasoned drummer working out of a great live room in Leeds, England. I'm a pocket-focused player who strives on serving the song.

I'm an adaptive and dynamic player who is obsessed with tone - I will make sure to pick the right drums, cymbals, mics and outboard from my collection of equipment to get the sound as close to the references you provide as I can.

I've been drumming for over twenty years and have had the pleasure of recording in some of the UK's top studios including Abbey Road Studios 2 and 3, Livingston Studio, The Chairworks and The Nave. I've worked with producer/engineer Ken Scott (The Beatles, David Bowie, Elton John) on multiple occasions and have worked on projects for companies including Puremix and Red Bull.

If you're interested in working together or want more info hit me up - let's make some music.
