Your music deserves
more than a drum loop.

Press play to hear real client recordings. Each drum part was written and recorded to fit the song, then delivered remotely.

“Max at WantDrums is for sure top 1% of the best! Perfect drum sound for my song, added great feel with his drums, but kept the vibe of my song, and truly elevated the song.”

Custom drum tracks by Online Session Drummer Max Saidi

Welcome! I'm Max, a UK-based session drummer. For over 15 years, I've been recording live drums remotely for musicians and producers around the world.

If loops and samples aren't giving your song the groove or character you're after, send me what you're working on. I'll play and record a drum part for your track in my studio, so you don't have to book a room or hire a separate engineer.

Once we agree on the brief, I typically send a first preview within 24 hours. We can refine the performance together, and once you approve it, I'll send your ready-to-mix drum stems.

“Max was an absolute pleasure. I hired him to record drums for one of my tracks, and he completely exceeded my expectations. His timing is impeccable and his drum sound is awesome.”

“What was really impressive was the way he nailed the vibe of the song every time. I just sent tracks with rough programmed drums and very little instruction, and he brought them to life in exactly the way I would've wanted to if I was drumming.”
