Cole Calise on SoundBetter

Whether it’s laying down a solid, steady foundation or adding intricate fills and creative rhythms, I guarantee you will enjoy the energy I bring to your track. I'm Cole Calise and I live for playing music, serving the song, and going absolutely berserk when it is time. I pride myself on being professional and making the client the first priority.

I'm Cole Calise, and I grew up in Cranston, RI, before moving to Nashville in 2023. I've been playing drums for 18 years, and ever since I got behind the kit, my brain just clicked with it. I attended Berklee College of Music, where I earned a Bachelor's in Drum Performance. During my time at Berklee, I had the pleasure of participating in a wide variety of studio sessions. These sessions varied from day to day—some were focused on getting sounds for class, while others involved recording a 4-piece band for an EP.
In my Nashville setup for recording, I have three drum kits: a Ludwig Classic Maple, a Gretsch Catalina Maple, and a Yamaha Club Custom, along with many percussion instruments. I also have a 16-channel mixer with multi-track recording capabilities, and I use microphones to record directly from the board. For software, I work with Logic Pro X and Ableton Live 11.
I have been gigging my whole time at Berklee as well as work on originals of my own and my friends. I love playing live and in the studio and you can definitely hear it on your track.
