NateFromDetroit on SoundBetter

Session Drummer with 35+ years of studio, television, and theatre experience. Eccentric insomniac that obsesses over the details of my work. You want someone that enjoys the creation of music as much as you that gets your passion? Playing my first live show at 3 years old, music has been my lifestyle.

Recorded my first album in 1993 and played professional gigs starting in 1995. I started mixing and recording on analog16 track and was a part of the music industry as digital took over, I know both sides.
There is no "FIX IT IN THE MIX" with me. Using a multitude of professional mics in a 900 sq ft live-room with 12 ft ceiling height and no right angles, I focus on their precise placement in the room and around the drum set to record the cleanest and most natural sound. The goal is a perfect capture and performance. Be as detailed as you want with your requests - I can make the drum mix the exact sound you are looking for. your choice of mix-ready stereo drum track or multitrack instrument files available for your your unique sound.
