I have a wide sonic range of Paiste cymbals and various drum-hacks such as tea towels, mutes, muffling rings, tambourines, rivets, etc. to help me achieve the right sound and vibe.

1. Do you charge extra for percussion parts?
2. Do you perovide 1-4 measure loops?
3. Do you create a custom microphone configuration for every song?
4. How many revisions do you allow?
5. Do you provide a final mix of the drum tracks?
6. Do I need to have recorded the song to a click track?

1. Do you charge extra for percussion parts?

No. My flat fee is for providing the right part for your song, whether that means a drum set part with no percussion, a hybrid set/percussion part, or percussion only.

The important thing is that whatever I am providing is what the song needs.

2. Do you perovide 1-4 measure loops?

This is a pretty common scenario for me, where a producer might just need a snippet of a beat, perhaps based on an old record sample or something. The fee is the same, as I still need to go through the exact same process of creating the drum set, getting everything miced up, and recording the part. What I generally do in these situations is also send beat and fill variations based on the original loop, as well as individual hits of the drums and cymbals so you have a lot of options for creating your own tracks.

3. Do you create a custom microphone configuration for every song?

I do not leave one drumset setup with the same mics for every song. Each song is unique and each song requires a unique approach in both feel and tonal vibe. I work hard and diligently to deliver the right sound and feel for every song.

4. How many revisions do you allow?

I offer three revisions included in the price; beyond that are billed at my standard rate of 95€/hour.

5. Do you provide a final mix of the drum tracks?

I will be sending a rough mix along with the individual dry tracks. The rough mix will have basic levels and panning applied, perhaps a bit of compression here and there. If you need a great mix I can do this as well.
