Lea Barnes on SoundBetter

20 years behind the kit, performing across the USA and Taiwan, now recording remotely for artists who want drums that actually serve the song.

Lea is the drummer for WD-HAN, a signed rock band, and brings that same intention to every remote session. Her specialties are alternative and indie rock, but she's at home in any genre — the approach is always the same: make every moment of the drums earn its place in the composition.

The goal is to enhance what you're communicating. Never to overpower, never to show off, but also never delivering a generic beat that could belong to any song.

Three ways to work together:

ELECTRONIC KIT TRACKING — from $199
Recorded on the Efnote 5, mixed to professional quality, and delivered as full audio stems: kick, snare, rack tom, floor tom, overheads, and room. Drum tones selected in collaboration with you from the Efnote 5 or EZDrummer library. Fast turnaround, real performance every time.

HOME STUDIO LIVE TRACKING — from $450
Live acoustic kit tracked with professional microphones. For clients who need the organic feel only a real kit delivers.

FULL PROFESSIONAL STUDIO — contact for pricing
High-end outboard gear, treated live room, full day of tracking with Zoom session. Starts at $1,200. Full gear list available on request.

MIDI delivery available across all tiers.

If you want a drummer who listens to your music before touching the kit, let's work together.
