Bodo Schopf on SoundBetter

drummer for Michael Schenker

Hi, my name is Bodo Schopf and I am a session and live drummer. I live and work in Italy. I've been playing drums for over 40 years and I have been recording drums and percussion on over 300 Albums and over a thousand trailers and commercials, I'd love the opportunity to drum on your song!
All I need is a stereo rough mix of your song without drums starting from 1.1.1.1, & the BPM. We talk about the vibe and sound you want. Then you send your files.
After the recording, I'll send you an Mp3 of your song with my drums, then we talk about any changes you may want, once you're happy I'll send you all individual drum tracks, and a stereo drum mix if required.
And I will do all I can to make sure you get exactly what you want for your song.

Some of my credits: Michael Schenker, Eric Burdon, Chris Thompson, Hazel O`Connor, Mick Jackson, Eloy, The Sweet, Wrecia Ford, Chris Norman, Andy Johns, Frank Filipetti, Marc Sway and many more

    Bodo always drums what is just right for my songs. His drumming shows me that he "understands the song." Well done!

    An in demand drummer who takes the time to make each song I've sent special. I listened to the last two he sent over and over while driving and running errands. Only turned them off because I finished my errands...

    Wow, Bodo did it again. How many times have I said that before-over 20 times. Bodo listens to the song and seems to "get inside it" until his drums fuse with what I'd hoped to hear.

    Bodo "knocked one out of the park again" as we say here in the states. Fast turn around, great drum sound, tons of experience, and a good ear for what a song needs. Who could ask for more? Well done, Bodo!
