Larger Studio Arrangements
If you need a larger recording space I can make arrangements to record drums and a full band simultaneously. I have worked in many studios and am comfortable with most setups/software/equipment so I'm happy to work with you at a studio of your choice or I can recommend some. I also enjoy bringing gear into a non-studio spaces (houses, churches, warehouses, barns etc.) and recording "on location" which can also be a great experience. I also have access to some beautiful acoustic spaces which are suitable for more acoustic music projects.
