I record in Pro Tools with Slate VRS8 interfaces x3 and a ton of microphones that change depending on what I'm recording (list below in FAQs)
My approach to online recording is being super communicative with my clients and adding my own improvisational flair to your songs if needed or just laying it down and playing the groove! :D

This guy dear James is a true genius and professional.
He can do anything - he can put his take on your music or just give you what you want.
I have lost count how many songs now James has done but I don't use any other drummer and I will certainly be sending James more of my tracks lol.
Thanks James

This is my fifth time working with James! What an incredible drummer, recording engineer, and person. This time we worked together on getting the perfect snare sound for our song, and punched in a few spots to get things exactly how they sounded in my head — showing just how dedicated James is to getting the perfect recording of the perfect take. Thank you so much! Would recommend to anyone looking for an absolute professional session player.

James always delivers top notch work. Cannot recommend him enough. If you are on the fence don’t think twice. This is the gig you want

James is a tremendous professional. He sent 2 versions of the track in less 48 hrs. I am very impressed. Great communication.
