Online session drummer service?

[TheTrickster]

Hiya all!

Just an idea I have: Does there exist something like online session drummer services? In my mind, this would be a good drummer with a good recording set up, treated acoustics and soforth, and s/he could offer drum recordings for your tracks. You'd send a backing track mp3, and he would perform and return 24-bit wave files for all drum tracks (for a fee ofcourse).

Even if this is uncommon now, I believe this could be a business for the future, what with all the home recording going on these days.

Is there such a service? What do you think of the idea?

Disclaimer: I'm not a drummer, but could sure use some proper drum recordings and do not have the space or experience to record drums.

Yup, they definitely exist. Here's one. I have no personal experience with that drummer, but if you look around, you'll find more.

And he even recorded with Cher!

Excellent. At a meager $135 per song it's definitely worth a shot for a song, if nothing else than just to be able to play with real, custom drum tracks for a while.

Thanks!

Guys name is Pete. And he's a great guy. You can hear some of his stuff and prod his brain about your stuff.

Check him out. He's good. Hope it helps.

Cool, thanks for the links!

Lynn, maybe you could post some samples of your drum recordings?

Check out RAMI here. He has done a number of collabs.

Yes! It´s so common. Dave Weckl (Chick Corea, Paul Simon, Michel Camilo,etc.) and Paul Wertico (Pat Metheny) do that...

In fact, i do that too... I´m a pro drummer, and If u want, i can record your first song for free to see if u like it.

PM me.

i have done some aswell...I play all custom DW drums and Paiste 2002 snare.

I have played with Snuffy Walden and others...

i will record a track or two...if you like them, and want more, i will charge like 30 or 40 a song.

I think I need to start one of these services. Once I get a bit more equipment, of course! What a great idea!

I agree that online session drumming is the way forward! I have been setup for a few months now and it's going really well. Totally recommend it!
