Remote Session Drummer

Derek Schweizer on SoundBetter

Professional acoustic drums for your music! I'm a lifelong musician and drummer with years of studio experience and a professional setup for recording drums. I've worked in many bands over the years and am very comfortable in a studio environment. My sense of groove and attention to detail with drumming will make your songs stand out!

I've been a drummer for over 20 years and over that time have gained a lot of experience playing in bands of different genres, energies, and group dynamics. I've spent a lot of time in recording studios, both as the musician on drums and the engineer recording the band (sometimes both on the same project!). Through that I've developed my recording style and techniques for tracking drums, which can be one of the more challenging parts of studio time.

I will work with you to record acoustic drum parts for your music and provide you with raw multitrack WAV files so you can mix them into your song for the results you're looking for. I use high quality mic preamps with further processing on the front end, so you can take the sound wherever you want.

I'm a collaborative player, and in all of the bands I've been in I have played a large part in the arrangement of the songs. So I can be flexible to follow your vision for the music, but I can also offer insight and feedback to the song as well.

I specialize in all rock genres, as well as country and pop music. I have a technical approach to playing with an emphasis on groove and pocket. My goal is always to capture the emotion and feel of the song and support that as the foundation to the music. Work with me and let's create the drum tracks your music needs to shine!
