John Dunston on SoundBetter

Organic live drum performances with flawless production — tailored to your music and delivered fast by a drummer with 31 years of experience.

I'm a professional drummer and composer with 31 years of drumming and recording experience, specializing in remote drum tracking for progressive metal, cinematic scores, rock, and video game music.

I use a custom hybrid MIDI rig with two Roland TD-17 modules and a Pearl Mimic Pro, routed through a MOTU Micro Express into REAPER, using Superior Drummer 3 for world-class drum and cymbal sounds. I also incorporate my own round robin samples from custom-recorded kits, cymbals, Octobons, and hand percussion — all recorded and produced in my studio and available at johndunston.com.

You’ll receive pristine isolated multitrack stems:

Kick, Snare, Toms, Cymbals, Overheads, Room/Ambients

Optional MIDI

Optional multi-angle performance videos (front/overhead) for YouTube or promotional use

✅ Fast turnaround — typically 24 hours for songs up to 6 minutes
✅ Live performance feel with flawless production
✅ Fully customizable tones from Superior Drummer 3 or my own drum sample library
✅ Organic, human playing to elevate your track beyond programmed drums
