Purpose-built remote drum studio
The gear behind
the sound.
A great performance deserves a signal chain that captures every detail. My acoustically treated studio, hand-picked drums and professional recording equipment deliver live drum tracks with depth, clarity and character.

From performance to file
Every link in the
signal chain matters.
The equipment is there to serve the song - capturing the attack, body, air and room around a real performance without getting in the way.
02
Clean conversion and preamps
Universal Audio converters and preamps, alongside an Audient ASP880, preserve the transient detail and depth that make acoustic drums feel alive.
03
Mix-ready when you need it
Raw, phase-aligned stems come as standard. Optional processing uses a carefully chosen collection of Universal Audio, Waves, iZotope and Slate Digital tools.
Acoustically treated recording room / UKFour acoustic kits
The right foundation
for your record.
Different songs ask for different sizes, materials and tuning ranges. I choose the kit around the arrangement and reference sound, rather than forcing every session through one setup.

One song.
Many possible voices.
