Jason Meekins on SoundBetter

Hi, My name is Jason Meekins and I am a session drummer from Austin, Texas. I've been playing drums for over 20 year and I have been recording drums from my home studio for the past 5 years. I use Logic Pro X and I have excellent mics and mic pre amps. I play Paiste cymbals and Pearl drums! I'd love the opportunity to drum on your song!

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. If it isn't I can play right along with you and still hold a very steady and tasty groove. My rate is budget friendly and I usually deliver in 24-48hours.

I will send you a stereo mix wav file of my drums for your song, or I can send you each individual mic chanel (13 total) for you or your engineer to mix in your studio environment.

I look forward to working with you!

Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

    Communicated quickly and delivered the final recordings quickly. I sent over a demo of midi drums and he caught the vision. Jason is great to work with!

    Great job again by Jason! I really like the simple, clean, yet punchy sound he creates for my mellow songs. They sound awesome.

    It was a pleasure working with him again. He's professional and easy to collaborate with. I'm very pleased and impressed with his talent and turnaround time.

    Amazing as usual, He took my badly timed and crappy attempted beatbox and turned it to perfectly to what was in my head what a talent and pleasure to work it.

    Jason has done a really good job of reading how the drums should compliment the keys track, and in a very timely fashion

    Jason is able to help us to search the best way to arrange our music.
    For the new track we hadn't idea, except the basic rhythm of the song.
    He played what he thought.
    We're enthusiastic for the result and he confirm our idea he's the best drummer we can meet to reach our sound. He's really patient and very professional in communicate with us and in spite of the very big distance between us is as to have him in the band.

    Stellar drumming, stellar sound! And on top of that, an overall great guy. This is the second time my band has worked with Jason, and certainly not the last. I couldn't be happier.

    Jason is an excellent drummer, with outstanding sound quality in his recordings. He's a top pro and it showed once again on our second project together. He interprets well the style and beat that works with my songs. I like his attention to detail and swift delivery time.

    My experience with Jason on the first two songs of my album, can best be described as "Stellar". His focus laser-beams on the client's satisfaction and he always delivers in a timely manner. I look forward to working with him on the remaining songs.
