Sean Shannon on SoundBetter

Sean Shannon is an audio engineer and DW Drum Artist specializing in drum tracks and mixing records. Engineering credits include Carmine Appice/Pat Travers "The Balls Album" (Cleopatra Records), Impellitteri's "Nature Of The Beast" (Frontiers Records), Pat Travers' "Retro Rocket" (Purple Pyramid Records), Outbound Road's "Hard Country".

I am happy to mix or play drums on your project (or both). I can make your record sound competitive against pro records in your style. I offer revisions in case the first print needs tweaking. I can handle files from any DAW. Contact me for a custom quote.

I have 30 years of experience making records and touring. I am also the creator of The Ear Training Kit™ and founder of The Mixing Workshop, an in-studio mixing training program for engineers and musicians, and I have contributed mixing articles for Recording Magazine.

I do live and studio mixing. I have worked with Bret Michaels (Poison)(monitor engineer), Billy Payne (Little Feat)(recording engineer), The Wallflowers (FOH), Tony Lewis (The Outfield)(monitor engineer), Impellitteri (vocal production/engineer), Rob Rock (vocal production/engineer), The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra (FOH and monitors), and corporate clients like Pepsi, Chevy, The Tonight Show, Universal Studios, Microsoft, and many others.

I am a lifetime DW Drum Artist (Drum Workshop – Drums, Pedals, and Hardware) and former world touring and recording drummer for The Pat Travers Band, Molly Hatchet, Outbound Road, Brian Howe’s Bad Company featuring Jeff Carlisi (38 Special), Les Dudek, and others.

I studied Tonmeister Studies with Dave Moulton at SUNY Fredonia, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1987.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    One could never say enough in an attempt to convey Sean Shannon's professionalism as an audio recording engineer, record producer or drummer. I've worked in the music industry for more than three decades and Sean is truly one of the most diligent and competent guys in the business! I recommend everyone looking for that something extra to call Sean!

    I've known Sean over 10 years now. Excellent engineer, producer and musician. He knows his stuff and he's always a pro. He recorded/produced a number of tracks on my band 3 Bucksworth's album Indiana and we couldn't be happier with the end result.

    I've known Sean Shannon for 7 years now. He has helped produce 2 Dylan Mathews & The Flips albums "Strange Weather" & "The Great Rock Revival". If you're looking for an engineer who can listen and make your ideas come to life then Sean's your engineer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SEAN.....
