Devin Pruden on SoundBetter

Hey! This is Devin Pruden, I am a session drummer from Los Angeles, CA. I have been playing for over 10 years, and have been recording myself for the past 5 years. I am a Logic Pro X user and have trusted gear. I strive to serve the song and to lean into your vision. I am ready to create and give you great raw drum tracks!

I am offering remote drum sessions, can also available for in person recording sessions. I specialize in Funk, R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Singer-Songwriter, and groove based music. Stylistically, I can excel in covering a lot of ground.

Here is a link to a playlist of songs I have worked on and can be heard on: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2eX7273YO1GthtbBrvxCZ5?si=fiKGqZqoSZy84c4m6AOiKQ

With a balance of groove, dynamic sensitivity, and timing, in turn, my playing creates a very powerful foudation.

Devin can currently be seen performing and touring with various acts including The Urban Renewal Project, Niki J. Crawford, Bootleg Orchestra, Skyler Day, Rudy Touzet, Tayler Holder and South Side Symphony.

As a professional musician, Devin has performed at festivals like Cal World Fest, SXSW, Whale Rock Festival, San Jose Jazz festival (where he opened for Sly & The Family Stone), and NAMM in ’22 & ’25. He has also played numerous award shows including the WACO Gala in ’22, where he shared the stage with Andra Day & Chloe x Hallie, and The HIM Awards in ’24.

Devin has recorded on the soundtrack for the Apple TV series “Lady in the Lake” and the movie “Once Again (for the Very First Time)” while collaborating with South Side Symphony.

    I truly cannot recommend Devin enough! He’s been my first choice for a number of recording projects and he’s been fantastic to work with every time. He’s always on time or early, is extremely professional, really easy to collaborate and communicate with, and of course an incredible drummer. Fellow professional musicians who listen to my recorded music frequently comment on how great the drums sound, which is largely due to Devin (and his skills at tuning drums!! Underrated!!). If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

    Devin is a great drummer and awesome human! I've hired him for a variety of projects in different styles and approaches and he always brings a great attitude and an extremely eclectic skillset. It's been a privilege to join him on the bandstand and in the recording studio.

    Dev is amazing!!! He is dedicated to his craft, a super hard worker, and has outstanding showmanship. Had a studio recording session for an original song with him and the final cut was done within the first two takes. Extremely dependable and gets the job done, while being a team player and taking initiative when needed on projects. This man has pocket 🙌
