professional session drummer takes your song to the next level
Hi, my name is Bodo Schopf and I am a professional session drummer. I live and work in Italy. I've been playing drums for over 40 years and I have been recording drums and percussion on over 300 Albums and over a thousand trailers and commercial. I'll take your song to the next level.
I play drum sets from Premier, Pearl and Ludwig, great sounding room, I use high quality microphones, you have the option of a dry room up to a big sounding room, but you get different room sounds from me through different microphone positioning. All I need is a stereo rough mix of your song without drums starting from 1.1.1.1, & the BPM. We talk about the vibe and sound you want. Then you send your files via sound better.
After the recording, I'll send you an Mp3 of your song with my drums, then we talk about any changes you may want, once you're happy I'll send you all individual drum tracks, and a stereo drum mix if required.
Some of my credits: Michael Schenker, Eric Burdon, Chris Thompson, Hazel O`Connor, Mick Jackson, Eloy, The Sweet, Wrecia Ford, Chris Norman, Andy Johns, Frank Filipetti, Marc Sway.
Track list of my demo: 0:00-0:45 save yourself, McAuley Schenker Group 0:45-1:30 out in the cold, Hartmann

check_circleVerifiedBodo was an absolute delight to work with. Not only did he interpret my demo & take the drums to a whole new level, but the recording sounds astonishing! His room mic setup especially is unrivalled - all of the pairs are in phase & compliment each other...throw the faders up and bring the rock! Cannot thank Bodo enough for all he did in letting me choose the drum kit, working with me on Bit/Sample rates, etc....especially for huge rock tones, he's incredible! :-)
