Drum Track TESTIMONIALS
“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.“

“Shay Godwin is one of the top session drummers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He’s a one take wonder, which is great in the studio because time is money. Shay was extremely professional, and well prepared. He has killer sounding drums, and was able to give me all kinds of snare tones to choose from. We will be working together for many years.”

Shay created and performed brilliantly, confident in his choices, yet always open to suggestion, Shay was a pleasure to work with.

“Shay has an attention to detail while working on parts in a song combined with keeping it simple and soulful. His vast knowledge of musical styles and professionalism in getting the job done in a timely manner is why I love to work with him.”
(on album “All That I Am” featuring Steven Tyler of Aerosmith); countless other credits
“Hi Shay, I wanted to let you know that before I decided to use your services I scoured the internet researching all the options available to get drums laid down for my album. I found your website to be the most compelling, from the examples I heard online and the many great testimonials I read. So I took a chance, and I was not disappointed in the least! I knew from the start that I did not only want the best sonic quality possible, but an expert drummer who could craft unique dynamic beats that would bring to life the rest of the arrangements. The album is not finished yet, but as the final pieces are coming together I am constantly being overwhelmed by the impact that your professional contribution is making to the overall artistic work. Thank you for your creativity, persistence, and ability to understand and produce the musical image that I had in my mind. The latter is truly a unique gift and blessing.
Best Regards,
Mike Moody, San Fransisco
“I tried some other online drummers, you are by far the best.”
Luke, Germany
“I was totally blown away by the quality of the recording. 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
“Hey Thai, you and Shay are bada$$es, the tracks sound amazing and his playing is unbelievable. I didn’t edit Shay’s takes and nothing was sample replaced or enhanced at all. In this day and age, believe me, that’s a great compliment.”
-Gyom, Alexandria, Va USA
“Cool grooves and nice fills dude! Exactly what I was looking for!!! All three takes sound great. I think my favourite is the second take 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
“Your three-take is a perfect way to make sure it works. I was very happy with the process, and your tracks sound great. You and Thai were awesome. Your professionalism and enthusiasm, not to mention skill at your craft made this perfect.”
-Craig Campbell, Detroit, USA
“Shay! You nailed it! 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 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
