Lloyd Haines

London Drummer & Engineer

Lloyd Haines on SoundBetter

NEW PROFILE. I am a versatile drummer with a sensitive touch, and have an extremely large and high-end collection of drum kits and recording equipment.

I have grown the studio over the past several years, becoming a specialist in capturing beautiful drum sounds with 100% analogue equipment. I usually work in a combination of drumming/engineering and often solely in an engineering role, where some of the UK’s top drummers and producers choose my room over bigger commercial studios in London. I am highly knowledgable of how to get the best drum sound for the music, from choosing the right drums, to tuning and microphone choices. I own a large amount of impeccably maintained instruments, high-end microphones and outboard. Please get in touch for a detailed equipment list. From a playing perspective, I feel my strengths are recording textural, sensitive drum tracks with a minimalistic approach. I naturally play quite quietly and prioritise serving the shape of the song. I currently play live for Matilda Mann, Alison Sudol and around London for various artists.
