Troy Secker on SoundBetter

Tasteful, record-ready drummer with a passion for lo-fi tones and over 8 seasons of high-intensity live experience in the French Alps. I blend deep groove with character-driven sound, sharing my approach through Instagram and YouTube to connect with artists and producers looking for vibe-focused, musical drumming.

Since completing my degree in Popular Music Performance at BIMM University in London, I’ve spent the past eight winter seasons gigging in the French Alps. A typical week involves 8–10 live shows across a range of venues, playing an eclectic mix of genres. The volume and variety of this work have allowed me to sharpen my drumming and musicianship, with a focus on delivering tasteful, dynamic performances that serve the music.

Over time, this has deepened my awareness of tone, groove, and musical space—qualities that I believe are essential in becoming a more 'recordable' drummer. I’ve developed a particular passion for lo-fi drum sounds and the character they bring to recordings. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube have become creative outlets where I regularly share grooves, textures, and ideas that explore this aesthetic, helping me connect with producers, artists, and fellow musicians who value vibe over volume.

Ultimately, I’m always chasing the drum sound that feels right for the song—and I take pride in being a drummer who knows when to lean in, when to hold back, and how to bring personality to the pocket.
