Hello! My name is Emory Carroll, and I am a funk/soul drummer and engineer based in Boston, MA.
I will provide pro quality drums for your song. Just send over an mp3 or wav file and the BPM of the song, as well as any directions for the drum parts, and I will quickly deliver drum tracks ready for mixing (or already mixed). If necessary, I will revise the drum tracks. As well as recording drums, I can also mix your song. For references of my work, check out my band Business Goose. On our most recent album, "Fair is Fowl & Fowl is Fair", I was the engineer, producer, drummer, and bassist on some tracks, as well as writing songs. I have also released a song with pianist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Jasper Zimmerman, who is currently a member of the NYO Jazz orchestra.

Interview with Emory Carroll
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I am very proud of my band's album "Fair is Fowl & Fowl is Fair". I recorded the whole band, played drums on all the tracks, played bass on 3 tracks, produced and mixed all the tracks, and had a hand in writing two of the songs. I recorded all five of us in one small room with no isolation and just 8 microphones. Given these obstacles, I think the project came out very well. It is available to stream anywhere and everywhere.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would love to work on a song with the band Lawrence, because, in my opinion, each of their songs brings something new and creative to the table, unlike some artists for whom each song sounds the same as the last.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My setup is in a building that was previously a garage separate from my house, but is now a music studio. I've been collecting instruments and microphones for the past few years, and have no intention of stopping anytime soon!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Some of my biggest inspirations are Nate Smith, Cory Wong, J Dilla, The Roots, Elvin Jones, Ralph Peterson, Huntertones, and Ghost Note.
