Trent Owen on SoundBetter

I've been featured with Transylvania Stud, Siobhan Magnus, The Secret Sisters, Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show, & more. I'm a seasoned session musician driven to provide the best drum parts for your song.

Hi, I'm Trent Owen. I’ve been an active session/touring drummer for 17 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of recording drums with artists and producers of all genres of music. If you have a particular drummer or drum sound in mind, I can emulate the feel and the sound that you’re after. I pride myself on being the best drummer for any situation, and I am excited to accommodate your needs as an artist. No project is too big or too small.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
