Handcrafted custom drum tracks
If you want the absolute best in studio drum tracks with the ability to have complete control over them, this is the option for you. Your drum tracks will be recorded in my purpose built studio which is acoustically treated to ensure the drums sound the best they can. I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure there is no phasing or excessive bleed into any of the microphones.
What you get
Click below to expand:
You will receive 13 unprocessed stems as WAVs ready for you to mix right away within your software (Logic, ProTools, Cubase etc). These are recorded at 44Khz, 24bit unless specified otherwise.
These consist of:
- x1 Snare top
- x1 Snare bottom (phase flipped)
- x1 Hi-hat
- x1 Kick In
- x1 Sub Kick
- x2 Rack Tom
- x2 Floor Tom
- x2 Overheads
- x2 Ambient mic
Your session will be charted out and set up to a click.
Up to 3 revisions to your track. The first version I send you (V1) will not count as your first revision (this means we can go up to V4). Every take / revision thereafter will be an additional £8 GBP.
This might seem obvious, but you would be surprised at the amount of times I have clients tell me about poor communication when using similar services in the past. As part of the price, you will receive direct and timely communication throughout the process.
You don’t pay until you are completely satisfied. This ensures you walk away with drum tracks you love!
How my pricing works
Prices vary depending on the length of a track. I don't charge extra for 'complex' songs because that's just not fair! Tracks up to 3 minutes in length are charged at £72 GBP, with prices slightly increasing thereafter. I will always send you a quote before any recording takes place so there won't be any nasty surprises!
Discounts available
Discounts are given for bigger projects if all the tracks are done in one go. That way I can get the kit set up exactly right for your project, and give all my attention to your project with minimal changes needed between songs. Recording this way gives you the best results.
Secure payment via PayPal®
As mentioned above, you only pay when you're totally satisfied with your drum tracks. Once you're ready to pay, all payments are made via PayPal® to ensure a hassle-free experience. Residents of the UK can pay via BACS payment. All major currencies accepted.
Optional extras
Have your session filmed + £15
I can film your recording session in full high definition. This is often used by clients as a ‘making-of’ to their project, or simply something to share on social media – do whatever you want with it! The video will be delivered as a Quicktime video file.
Your drum tracks mixed & mastered + £12
If the idea of mixing drums from scratch is a little daunting then I can provide you with a professionally mixed and mastered stereo WAV of your drum track. Using top of the range monitoring equipment you can be guaranteed a stereo mix that will sound consistent on your best speakers, right the way through to your iPod earphones!
Set of stems with processing applied + £10
I can provide you with a set of stems with my own processing printed to them. This will save you time having to adjust independent EQs and compressors - It's all done for you! All you have to do is adjust the levels accordingly to get a great sounding mix!
