Instruments
I’M KNOWN FOR THE HUGE COLLECTION OF INSTRUMENTS I’VE AMASSED OVER MY CAREER, ALL OF WHICH ARE READY TO USE ON YOUR PROJECT.
There’s everything you would expect in a modern symphony orchestra (Glockenspiel, Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba, Timpani, Gran Cassa, Cymbals, Tam-tam etc), beautiful sounding drums (Gretsch, Tama, Yamaha, Leedy, Slingerland, Craviotto, Brady etc) and cymbals (Zildjian, Sabian, Istanbul, Paiste, Spizzichino, Meinl, etc), a massive collection of Latin American, African and other ethnic instruments including an enormous Taiko.
Recording
I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO RECORDING LOCATIONS; A 12M2 ROOM FOR RECORDING DRUMS, TUNED AND SMALLER INSTRUMENTS, AND A 60M2 ROOM FOR LARGER INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS TIMPANI,TAIKO, GRAN CASSA, ETC.
In order to make fitting my tracks into your project as easy as possible, I tend to record things with a very dry acoustic, as it’s much easier to add reverb to tracks than try to remove it. All files are delivered in the format of your choice.
Software/Hardware – all tracks recorded using Logic Pro X or ProTools 12 on Mac
Interface – RME UFX
Pres – DAV BG2, RME UFX and Focusrite
Mics –all chosen specifically for recording drums and percussion, my ever growing mic locker currently includes:
