Pro Session Drummer

Q: What do you bring to a song?

A: I always try to bring the most appropriate groove that carries the track and the rest of the instruments.

Q: What's your typical work process?

A: The process starts by listening the track, start thinking about what type if drum sound needs, based sometimes on the clients information or understanding the song and giving a musical context and the appropriate style.Then I choose the proper drum patterns (if there is already, trying to improve it a bit), which mics I'll use and the best position to put it, based on the sound that I want to achieve. Once I’m all set up and soundchecked, with all the notes and the songs structure I start learning and working around the kit. When I'm ready to go, I give it a first take and send em to my client and discuss about.Then, if there are any revisions, I make the necessary changes. Once are all have been approved by the client, then either deliver them as raw tracks or mix them as requested by the client.

Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

A: I have an isolated home studio, away from the centre city. Right now I'm using an Soundcraft 400 console, and with some help of various plugins that can help to shape the sounds. Two different Italian handcrafted Drum kit, which are always suitable for any type of style needed.

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

A: Mostly every drummer and producer who elevate the songs, making something that sounds interesting and smooth.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: The main work is recording drums for artists. Some percussions as well if asked.
