I have a very classic style and feel to my performing compared to John Bonham, Dave Grohl, and Gene Krupa. I come from a symphonic background, so I’m well versed in standard notation/chart reading as well as playing by ear with a natural sound. I’m extremely driven and like to keep a maximum 3-4 day turnaround time depending on my schedule.
Hello! My name is Ruben Spencer from Texas and I have a passion for drums and music in itself.
I offer basic remote drum recording services, and I am also willing to travel!
I have quite a bit of remote and in-person recording experience for various smaller clients ranging from CCW to Blues, Rockabilly to Alt Rock, and even stretching into Hip Hop/Rap.
I’ve been performing and recording independently since 2016 and still going strong. I prefer to keep a very natural sound when it comes to drums, so I don’t program or use MIDI in my work.
I’m still building rapport and quality gear at my location, so my rates are competitive and affordable! Let’s make some sounds!
