It's been a long time since I've updated this page but that doesn't mean the wheels haven't been turning.
Kieran T. Stevenson has recently released his debut EP with drums on track 1 recorded here at Strike Sound (with my good friend Cody McWaters behind the desk). How good does that snare sound?!

Last week Red in Tooth released their EP that we worked on together over the course of 2014 and 2015. Taking this record all the way from pre-production through to the final master was a journey and its great to see it finally released and getting the recognition it deserves.

This track gives a great example of how vibey and bright my new tracking room sounds! All components of this track were recorded here at the new Strike Sound room. The natural tone of this room sounds amazing, especially on the drums (no samples on this track, 100% real drums). Check it out yourself and get in touch to book some time!

Thanks to FLStudioMania for their article showcasing my first drum samples. Really stoked on the response these have received so far!
These samples provide a great alternative to many commercial drum samples, I think they result in much more natural tones than over-polished competitors libraries.
Try em out on your next mix!
