Frequently Asked Questions
-
Remote drum recording allows you to have professional drum tracks recorded for your song without being in the same studio. You send me your track, and I record live drums in my Toronto-based studio, delivering polished, mix-ready drum files back to you.
-
To begin, I’ll need:
Your song file (WAV or AIFF)
A rough mix or demo
Tempo (BPM) and time signature
Any reference tracks or notes about feel, groove, or production direction
If you’re unsure about any of this, I’m happy to guide you through it.
-

We discuss feel, references, and expectations

Revisions are made if needed
Final drum files are delivered
The process is simple, collaborative, and tailored to your song.

Communication can happen via email, text, or live video sessions (Sessionwire or Zoom). I prioritize clear and responsive communication at every stage so you always know where your project stands.

Turnaround time is typically 24–72 hours, depending on scheduling, song complexity, and whether revisions are requested. Rush options may be available—just ask.
