Get quality, live recorded drum parts fast.

My name is Rhett Randolph and I am a 23 year old drummer recently graduated from Berklee College of Music.

I have played Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot Festival, and recently off a national tour with Jagwar Twin and Avril Lavigne. I have endorsements with Big Fat Snare Drum, JH Audio, and Drum Dots.

I can provide stems of live drum parts that any producer, artist, composer, or other fellow musician may need. I have my own studio space with a full kit and microphone set up and can send you high quality recorded drum parts mixed or dry within an hour of recording them.
