OUR SYSTEM GUARANTEES SATISFACTION
You have the option to produce the session live remotely by listening in live via NiceCast and communicating via Skype (or phone), *OR* you can get three takes of each song. All takes are yours for the price , edit as you wish!
No Sound Replacement Needed!
Your music needs and deserves custom online drum tracks of the highest sound quality. Why? Because professional, master-quality custom drum tracks deliver energy, groove and depth to your music.

eDrumSessions killer custom drum tracks protects your music from generic sound libraries that (*yaaaawn*) everyone else uses. With eDrumSessions drum tracks, you will need no sound replacement. Resist the temptation to record drums with a lesser service, because you may have to sound replace later. There are only a few drum sample libraries out there, so let's face it: if you are sound replacing, your drum tones will sound like everyone else's.

Have drum samples and loops made your music sound sterile?
Are you sick of spending hour after frustrating hour with drum sample software such as BFD, painstakingly putting drum samples together in a useless attempt to make them sound like a custom drum track – when you KNOW it will never be the same as a real custom drum track played by a session drummer for your song?

Of course you are, but your music deserves real drums and you know that custom drum tracks can do amazing things for your music... ...as well as you know what drum samples can do to your music.

Listeners may not know that drum samples are to blame for killing the vibe of your music, but they will feel the lack of energy nevertheless. By the same token, if your recordings have real drum tracks people will feel that energy! Your music will stand out in a way it could not with the use of drum samples.

Make no mistake, if you have custom drum tracks for your music you have a better chance of getting it placed whether in nationally syndicated television shows, commercials or otherwise.

Here is what our client Judson Crane has to say about this:

"Producing music for commercials requires lots of last minute planning and delivery on super tight deadlines. Shay and Thai are able to provide world class sounding drum tracks in very little time. Most of my clients notice the vast improvement a live drum performance can give to a track and eDrumSessions.com has made it possible for me to do this easily and with great results. My studio lacks the facility to do proper drum recording so having eDrumSessions.com is a fabulous resource." -Judson Crane, Composer; clients include AT&T, BMW, Hummer, JP Morgan, McDonalds, Mastercard, Mercedes, Mountain Dew, Pfizer, Reebok, Sony, and Olay

...And here is a quote from our U.K. client Paul Cartledge of Yellow Boat Music:

"I've had the opportunity to work with Shay on a couple of recent productions. I love his playing and attention to detail on the sound of the drum kit. The technical process is transparent and the effect is just like sitting in a control room with Thai, with Shay drumming in an adjacent studio. Getting the WAV file recordings from each microphone and importing them into my multitrack session is easy and gives me total flexibility with my mix. I'm very lucky in that I work with many great professionals who I'm happy to recommend, Shay and Thai are among them."
-Paul Cartledge, Yellow Boat Music (U.K. commercial production house)
If you are reading this you are probably hip to the massive money-saving potential of online drum recording, that is getting custom drum tracks from a session drummer over the internet.
While this can be a great resource, you must understand that often there is no professional recording engineer involved with online drum recording, and usually there is a lack of the high-end outboard gear associated with big recording studios.

So you gotta choose an online recording studio wisely. Otherwise you run the risk of getting online drum tracks that sound like they were recorded by some kid in his parent's garage, not the master-quality drum tracks you need.

The unfortunate truth is that while they may be good players, many online session drummers are learning sound engineering on the job...

...And these well-meaning guys are also using a lot of low-level recording gear and cheaper mics and cables, resulting in many weak links in the recording chain...

...and here is the secret they don't want you to know:

Engineering a drum recording session is a serious skill that takes experience.

Novice sound engineering and a weak signal chain will get you “demo level” results, not the professional, major label quality sound you need and deserve in your drum tracks.

This is not to mention that many of the online recording services have only 8 or sometimes even fewer inputs available to them to record your online drum tracks.

Many online drum tracks services are also recording in tiny rooms with low ceilings--which makes for zero usable room sound and harsh cymbal tones. Friends, you want your online drum tracks to be recorded in a nice big room with high ceilings! That way, you can have a sense of depth to your drum tracks and you can mix in huge amounts of room sound (if you wish).

Just imagine how STOKED you would be if you could get major label-quality custom drum tracks for your music, completely ***RISK-FREE!!***

Well, stop imagining, you really can get risk-free drum tracks right here at eDrumSessions.com! That's right, risk-free.

Hi, my name is Shay Godwin and I am a Los Angeles studio drummer.

I have recorded and performed with many independent and label artists (RCA, Interscope, Arista, Hollywood, and others) covering a multitude of styles.

I believe my calling in life is to provide musical support for artists of all flavors and styles, and nothing gives me greater satisfaction as a studio drummer than playing exactly what a song needs. Thats what custom drum tracks are all about!

"Shay is one of the most talented drummers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He is a real musician that plays with taste, incredible feeling, and he is amazingly versatile in his styles."
Charlotte Martin: founder, Dinosaur Fight Record

As a professional who has recorded in expensive rooms (such as Capital Studio A) and has contributed to drum sample software (I did all of the brush samples on the BFD XFL premium drum module), I have a unique insight into the previously mentioned problems you can have trying to get professional quality, custom drum tracks.

I can see that drum sample software, no matter how impressive, will never make music as exciting as real drum tracks. But I can also see that getting real, custom drum tracks for your music can be financially out of reach due to high studio costs.

So I decided to come up with a solution to these problems.

I began talking with a great sound engineer friend of mine, Thai Long Ly of TL2 Productions, who gets better drum sounds than anyone I have ever worked with.

We decided to team up to give you all the benefits of hiring an experienced session drummer and a pro sound engineer with top-shelf gear and a great room --all without the heavy studio fees associated with this level of quality.

Here's how it works:

You send me your songs in whatever format you wish. Appropriate selections are made from a variety of great sounding, well-tuned drums to fit the style of the song.

Then, state-of-the-art analog and digital gear and high-end microphones capture solidly grooving, musical, spirited drum tracks performed with both power and subtlety.

...and you get THREE TAKES of each song you send!

That's right, ***THREE TAKES!***

Each take will have subtle to drastic differences. ***UPDATE*** You also have the option of producing the session remotely by listening in live via NiceCast and communicating via Skype (or phone).

That leaves you a lot of room for editing as you wish.

As client Craig Campbell of Detroit puts it,

"Your process is great. The three takes is a perfect way to make sure it works."

Now, you may wish to speak with me to communicate a general direction you want on a track; I'm all ears.

OR...

Maybe you will leave things to my judgment; you'll be happy with the results.

OR...

Perhaps you have a programmed drum pattern you would like duplicated; I'll nail it.

OR...

Some may wish to send me charts; I'll be able to read anything you send me.

However you choose to do things, you will get drum tracks of a quality you will not be able to get elsewhere...especially at an extremely LOW price...

...WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RISK TO YOU BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T WANT THE DRUM TRACKS YOU JUST WALK! Your deposit (which is made upon sending us your material) will be immediately refunded and you have no obligation whatsoever!


How can I offer such a guarantee? Because I have that much confidence in my product, plain and simple.

You are going to love your custom drum tracks, and let me remind you that you will have three takes to work with and edit as you wish!

Other drum tracks sites with comparable prices will definitely not be using the same HIGH END RECORDING GEAR used here!

We're talking full-on professional studio stuff here: a Neve 8232 board, vintage Neumann tube and ribbon mics, FETs, Daking outboard preamps and tons of outboard gear, Tara Labs cables (these are audiophile-quality cables, which makes a big difference in signal integrity), and more top-quality gear.

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, USE YOUR EARS!

GO AHEAD, COMPARE OUR AUDIO SAMPLES TO THOSE OTHER DRUM TRACKS WEBSITES--THE DIFFERENCE IN SOUND QUALITY OBVIOUS! (see "Listen to Drum Tracks" link at top of this page)

AT eDrumSessions YOU GET:

  1. access to Bell Sound, Hollywood
  2. major label quality sound
  3. custom drum tracks that are passionately played for YOUR song
  4. to save huge amounts of time over putting together drum tracks from drum sample software such as BFD (that end up sounding sterile anyway)
  5. big savings over paying to rent a studio, paying for engineers, drummer, etc.
  6. a satisfying, interactive artistic experience in which you can communicate your needs to me through email or in real time (via phone or using Skype, free download)
  7. to stay in your PJs while I track killer drums for you!

 

"Hi Shay, the takes are perfect, exactly what I was after and played with real
passion, thanks so much!" Owen Duff, London, UK

Under conventional circumstances, to get pro drum tracks you would have to shell out a minimum of $400 per track, plus paying for studio time and engineers, etc...

...but I AM PROUD TO BRING YOU MAJOR-LABEL QUALITY DRUM TRACKS AT THE INCREDIBLE PRICE OF JUST $300 PER TRACK if you act right now!
(A 50% per track *REFUNDABLE* deposit will be required - standard procedure).

That's right, only

$300 per track!

You won't find drum tracks with a comparable level of playing and sound quality at this price anywhere else.

So if you are truly committed to getting the highest quality online drum tracks for your music and saving big money risk-free then get started now!



Are you still thinking about it???
This is your ****RISK FREE*** opportunity to get the killer drum tracks that you've been dreaming about.

Take it from client Timothy Gillespie of New Jersey:

"Shay! You nailed it! Great work. You were right. I have 'inevitable glee'. You played exactly what I imagined! I'm sure putting together a mix with your drums will be easy, but you make it hard to decide which takes I want to use..."

YOU CAN'T LOSE.



REMEMBER, getting your drum tracks here will save you lots of money over going into a studio (while reaping all the benefits of that situation) and lots of time over using drum samples (with much more musicality), and you will be STOKED with the drum sounds!
THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY YOUR BEST BET FOR GETTING DRUM TRACKS ONLINE, so take advantage!

I look forward to working with you and giving you the master-quality, custom drum tracks your music deserves.

"I
tried some other online drummers, you are by far the best.
"

Luke, Germany

 

"Your
process is great. The three takes is a perfect way to make
sure it works. Your tracks sound great. I was very happy
with the process.
You and Thai Long were awesome. Your professionalism and enthusiasm,
not to mention skill at your craft made this perfect.
"

Craig Campbell, Detroit, USA

 

"I
was totally blown away by the quality of the recording. By
comparison with other drum recordings I have heard (some
of them by other online drum recording services), your unprocessed
tracks are close to the processed tracks I have heard!
Your drumming during the chorus clearly sets it aside in terms
of energy from the verse parts, something that I find important.
Your playing supports the song and even inspires me with ideas
to improve it. Upright Bass, anyone?
"

Henrique Pataca, Portugal

 

"Shay,
just a quick email to let you know that I’m very happy with
the drums tracks! They’re well recorded and the performances
are great! A pleasure to mix! More to come for you soon.
"

Gyom, Alexandria, Virginia, USA

 

"Nice
fills and some cool grooves dude! Exactly what I was looking
for!!! All three takes sound great. I think my favourite
is track 2 but I might incorporate some bits of the other
takes into it as well.
"

Ramon McDrury, Sydney, Australia

 

"Hi
Shay, the takes are perfect, exactly what I was after and
played with real passion, thanks so much!
"

Owen Duff, London, UK

 

"I
can’t decide which version I like best, all three are great.
I think take 3 is again most powerful, straight but still
sophisticated, which I like cause I really want powerful,
driving bass and drums carrying the song but played intelligent.
"

Luke, Germany

 

"Shay!
You nailed it! Great work. You were right. I have ‘inevitable
glee’. You played exactly what I imagined! I’m sure putting
together a mix with your drums will be easy, but you make
it hard to decide which takes I want to use…

I just wanted to thank you both for spending the extra time to
nail down these tracks. You really nailed these tracks and inspire
me with your playing. I’m really honored to have you guys work
on this stuff and grateful.
"

Timothy Gillespie, New Jersey, USA
