Kevin Walters on SoundBetter

Hey, I'm Kevin and I'm a session drummer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist and I'd love to play on your song!

I'll record the highest quality audio in my studio with the human-feel nuances that you just can't get from programmed drums. We'll have a discussion about direction, sounds, tones, and sonic references to make sure I capture the exact drum sound that you're looking for!
