Tight, musical drum tracks delivered with feel, groove, and polish. I bring 20+ years of live and studio experience to your song, offering everything from explosive rock energy to nuanced, dynamic pocket playing.
I'm a session drummer and music producer with 20+ years of experience behind the kit and over a decade producing and recording for myself and clients. I specialize in styles like pop, K-pop, chill, indie, singer-songwriter, and soft/electric pop, delivering drum grooves that are tasteful, clean, and emotionally in tune with your track.
If you need tight pocket playing, dynamic builds, or subtle rhythmic textures, I craft every performance to elevate your song with feel and clarity.
I work from a professional home studio, offering:
- Multi-mic acoustic drum recordings
- Tight editing and clean stems
- Custom percussion, MIDI drums, or hybrid options
- Revisions to ensure you're 100% happy
