I’m Phillip, a drummer and producer in Berlin. I record drums remotely from my own studio and deliver finished, mix-ready tracks that sit inside a song without taking it over. I play for the song: groove first, dynamic, and never in the way.
What you get
Live drum tracks recorded to your song, multi-mic, with the kit and snare chosen to fit your style
Stems for your own mix, or a mixed drum track if you prefer
Tight, edited tracks that are ready to drop into your session
Two revisions included, delivery in 3-5 days, rush jobs on request
My sound
I record on a vintage-sounding kit, a jazz kit and a modern kit, with a wide choice of snares, so I can match the feel of your track: warm and loose, tight and dry, or somewhere in between.
Styles
Afrobeat, funk, jazz, singer-songwriter, ska, reggae, chanson, cabaret and more. For over two decades I’ve worked with bands, songwriters, theater, circus and variety shows, in the studio and on stage, including full albums for DUSK, Krawuttke, The Real Schmidt and De Hardheid.
How it works
Send me a short note about your project, ideally with a link to the song and a reference or two. I’ll reply with availability and a quote. Once we agree, I record and edit, and you receive your files.

For many years, I have worked with Phillip both live and in the studio and greatly value his professional and flexible approach. He has played many recordings of my songs with his precise and groovy drumming. Phillip possesses an impressive stylistic range and a keen sense for the right sound in every song. He reliably implements the producer's wishes, while also bringing his extensive experience and personality to the table. Working with him is always very pleasant and productive. For me Phillip is the best Drummer in town!
I have been hiring Phillip as a studio session drummer for 25 years at our studio in Berlin. He is always very fast and professional. The tracks are always of great quality and sound and never need any additional editing. Phillip is a very sensitive, powerful and precise drummer with a wide dynamic range. He can play any style and is held in high regard around Berlin as one of the best session drummers for hire.
Very well drummed, the sound fits our songs perfectly. We are very satisfied and look forward to the next songs.
