Creative percussion recordings for your music
Hello all!
I'm happy to offer you creative percussion recordings. My main goal is to support your music, from simple percussion parts to a massive-sounding percussion orchestra.
After traveling around the world, gathering sounds and rhythm philosophies from different music styles, I developed the sensitivity to feel and map the inner groove of a track.
With vast experience in recording for creators of different genres, I mostly record for producers who need to blend the sound of traditional drums and percussion with modern and up-to-date productions.
Using mostly drums from Africa, Brazil and India, I offer textures and sounds that can work in styles like EDM, Hip Hop, Pop, Funk, House, Jazz, and Afrobeat. I usually do not play Latin percussion and music.
I will record my percussion on music that I can contribute to, and that inspires me. I will not take any job, as it is essential for me to feel connected to the music.
What I offer:
• A solid multitrack percussion recording.
• Creative percussion ideas recorded to offer your music a different flavor
• Edited perfectly so you can easily cut, arrange, mute, play with the different parts
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

A: Creative sounds and percussion parts
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I create the flow and atmosphere needed to make it real
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the music for a few times, getting the feel and vibe of it and then I start adding layers of percussion. First I create a solid version that fully supports the music and then I expand for more artistic and creative ideas.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Im inspired by African drumming which contains the secrets for multi layered thinking and playing. This is the most important ingredient in percussion playing, the understanding of how each part can effect the flow and feel of a tune.
