Drummer with 20+ years of experience, and credits on multiple Top 10 albums and world tours. Credits include Louis Tomlinson, Dermot Kennedy, Mumford and Sons, Aurora, Wolf Alice and Holly Humberstone.
I picked up the sticks at 8 years old and was out on the road by the time I was 14.
Since then I've built a career spanning multiple world tours, major television performances and recording credits on several Top 10 albums.
I've had the privilege of working with artists including Mumford and Sons, Louis Tomlinson (One Direction), Dermot Kennedy, Wolf Alice, Aurora, Foals, Holly Humberstone, Declan Mckenna, Marina, Florence Road and many more.
From my studio in Los Angeles, California I record live drums, percussion, vintage and analog drum machines and synths.
I can deliver raw multi-tracks or fully mixed drum stems ready to drop into your song. I have a wide selection of vintage and new drum kits, snare drums, cymbals, high-end microphones and class A preamps to explore and experiment with to find a drum sound with the feel, character, and colour to serve your song.
I endorse Gretsch Drums, DW Hardware, Zildjian Cymbals, Remo heads, Vater sticks, Universal Audio interfaces and Plugins, Arturia Instruments

check_circleVerifiedSteve is not only a pro drummer but instinctively knows how to interpret a demo to give me drums that I never had to revise. He understood the brief & delivered exactly what I wanted, he responded to every message promptly & succinctly, so I always felt like my project mattered.Others I used took too long to respond & didn’t follow the brief, leading to unnecessary, time wasting revisions, contributing to missing deadlines,so never having to worry about that with Steve means I’ll use him again!
check_circleVerifiedHad to reach out to Steve Durham again and of course it was an easy and streamlined process! Definitely a pleasure working with Steve and getting the sound I wanted! 5 stars

Steve is a rockstar! Professional, very skilled at his craft and knows exactly how to elevate your music on the drums! He was easy to work with and really understood how to execute my project. Looking forward to working with Steve in the near future!
