Eric Darken on SoundBetter

Creative and intuitive multi-percussionist/drummer who has recorded with Taylor Swift, James Bay, Niall Horan, Peter Frampton, Shawn Mendes, Vince Gill, Jewel, Kenny Chesney, Foy Vance, Bob Seger, Carrie Underwood, Bob Jovi, Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffett, Moon Taxi, Ty Myers, Blue's Traveler and others.

I play a wide variety of non classical and classical percussion and incorporate "one of a kind" and hand made instruments to create unique rhythmic and musical tracks. My process of layering sounds and textures has allowed me to work with a diverse group of artists and bands from around the world.

Every song I work on is an "open pallet" and I approach each with an opportunity to make it more interesting to the listener. I work closely with the client to make sure they get exactly what they want, or to entertain them with ideas they never considered before! Whether it's a song just needing congas and shaker or one that incorporates world percussion with timpani, chimes, marimba, vibes and samples/programming - I'm open to trying anything and have an "anything goes" approach to each project.
