Real Drums for Your Music

NEED DRUMS FOR YOUR MUSIC?

I’VE GOT YOUR BACK.

I have a passion for creating and helping others achieve their best sound. With a knack for the details and versatility on the drums, I can deliver powerful yet dynamic, impactful and purposeful drum recordings for your music. I specialize in clean, tight, and punchy drums in a variety of genres, including rock, pop, country, and R&B.

If at all interested, I’d love to learn more about your next project. Please contact me below and we’ll set up a time to chat.

STRESS-FREE STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SESSION

3 SIMPLE STEPS

1Consult

We’ll meet either in-person or virtually to discuss your goals and my rate for the project. This will involve listening to demos and charting specific parts as needed.

2Record

Ready, go! Once I’m clear on direction, I’ll get started immediately on recording your perfect take. While others may charge for multiple revisions, I believe in getting the job done right, no matter what. This means no recording limits or fees for revisions (within reason). I will often include alternative drum fills so you have options to work with.

3Review

I’ll send you or your producer the files and we’ll begin the review process. Standard 44.1 or 48 KHz wav. We’ll discuss any additional needs you may have, like that shaker for the chorus.

CASS JONES, Artist (Nashville, TN)
