Daniel Charavitsidis on SoundBetter

Recording true acoustic drums

I am Daniel. I'm a professional drummer and instructor since 1997. Over the last decade, I mostly record drums at a professional level for well-known artists and for different kinds of music with great success. Now I can record in my own recording studio.

All I need from you is an mp3 of your song with any instructions you have on drums. It would be best if your song is recorded to a metronome.

I will send you a stereo mix wav file of my drums for your song.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you.
