Full drum tracking service – drum recording from home or in a studio.
Drum Tracking – How it works:
Just let me know how many tracks need drums recorded on; the style of music, the tempos, how the client wants it sent to them and precise information on how the client wants the drum tracking to be performed musically. Tracks can be sent in separate parts, the full drum part or both.
I will do re-takes for a maximum of three times per track.
The rates I charge for drum tracking are in line with the Musicians Union rates.
Drop me a line for further information about this via the contact form
Drum Tracking Rates:
£130 for up to 3 hours
£195 for up to 4 hours
My fees for drum tracking are determined using Section 5 of the BPI / Musicians Union Agreement 2019, and can be found on page 3.
