I have a lot of experience in this area and always relish the opportunity to bring something unexpected to a song.

Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

A: I do a wide range of work for clients including adding drum tracks to music for Podcasts, installations, and instrumental compositions, as well as tracking drums for artists' songs.
