How Online Drum Tracks Sessions Work

1. Contact Me
To get started, contact me with the details of your project which we can discuss via email or over the phone, it’s up to you. Then send me your song or piece of music and I’ll give you suggestions and ideas for your track. If you have your own ideas about the style of drums and/or percussion you would like, I can incorporate that into what I record. It’s no problem.

2. I record your drum and/or percussion track
In my studio, I’ll record your drum and/or percussion tracks.

3. Approval
Once the drum and/or percussion tracks have been recorded, I’ll send you a 30-second sample of what I’ve done, via MP3 or HQ Wav, showing you my drums mixed with your music.

4. Download the HQ files
When you're 100% happy with the final result, I'll send you an invoice by email.
I only accept payment via Paypal or Bank Transfer to my Bank account.

As soon as payment is made, I can send you the HQ Wav audio track or tracks in a number of ways:
Via Dropbox – I send the drum/percussion track mixed with your music, as well as just the drum/percussion track
Via We Transfer – I send the drum/percussion track separated into individual drum sections ie one snare track, one hi hat track etc so that you can mix the track yourself or a studio can do it for you.
The drum and/or percussion tracks can be sent already equalised, mixed and mastered. You decide.
Once you've downloaded the files, it’s a simple case of dragging and dropping them directly into your audio editor and you’re ready to go!!

PRICING
For a mixed drum track of up to 5 minutes in length, I charge a flat rate of £45. The price increases with the length of track, but I won’t do any work until the cost has been agreed with you. Mastering and equalisation is included.
For a track separated into individual sections and sent via We Transfer, the cost is £85.
To add percussion effects to a mixed drum track, the cost is £35. Percussion can also be separated into individual sections and sent via We Transfer and that would be £55. Examples of percussion: cajon, congas, bongos, maracas, shakers, chimes, rain maker, claps, cowbells, gongs, timpanis, woodblocks, tambourines, udu, splashes, guiro etc

Artist / Musician / Instructor from Washington DC
Writes songs with a guitar, sings them live with a band

Nuno began his musical education at the age of six under Maestro César Batalha in his native Lisbon. At fifteen, he discovered his passion for the classical guitar, and two years later, completed the first level of Trinity College of Music. 

He moved on to the electric guitar, which he continued to study assiduously while completing his degree in Industrial Engineering and Management at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon. Not wanting to abandon his musical aspirations, he attended a summer program at the Berklee College of Music in Boston during those years. 

After graduating, Nuno began work at AudioPro, a renowned professional audio dealer, where he learned the fundamentals of studio gear. He then went on to work for Electronic Arts, where he was a language tester.

Knowing that music was his true passion, Nuno decided to return to Boston to pursue a degree in Music Production and Engineering at Berklee. There he graduated with honours in 2009.

Since finishing his studies at Berklee, Nuno has been involved in projects ranging from jazz to indie-pop, tango, and Middle-Eastern-influenced fusion. He spent time in Los Angeles observing Kevin Shirley in the studio and collaborating with Pablo Munguía on several projects, including the 37th Annual American Music Awards and the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. In addition, he assisted in the production, recording, and mixing of parts of the Red vs. Blue: Revelations soundtrack, and is an active participant in remix contests on Indaba Music, where he has been awarded several honorable mentions. 

Nuno is always looking forward to the next challenge and is looking brightly for the future!

Andy Gunn



Recently heralded as ‘a great lost Scottish talent and one of our finest ever blues players’, Andy Gunn’s inspirational return to the music scene was proclaimed, in his own undeniable style, by the acclaimed 2015 album Miracle of Healing.
Andy’s truly original, intuitive and soulful playing has drawn comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. He has shared the stage and billing with some big names too -  highlights of his career this far include supporting Buddy Guy at The Queens’ Hall, jamming with Albert Collins and backing Geno Washington at the first Belladrum Festival.
Andy pays tribute to his parents for the gift of his first guitar at an early age, and to his mother’s rock’n’roll collection for leading him to Blues masters like Lightening Hopkins and Muddy Waters. This early development formed a precocious talent -  Andy’s first band Jumpin’ the Gunn were signed by Virgin’s blues label, Point Blank, and they travelled to Memphis just as he was leaving school. This early experience gave Andy the enviable opportunity to learn from and exchange riffs with Al Green’s rhythm section and Pop Staples, to name a few. Here, his raw talent developed into a prodigious touch which led to Andy being ranked as a world class talent.
When Andy returned to Scotland, a new chapter in his career began. He played alongside The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, with members of Gary Moore’s Midnight Blues Band, Martin Stephenson, and toured with 4 times British Blues best harp player Errol Linton. Years later Andy was to return to the US, on a voyage of musical discovery touring New York, Chicago, Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans, jamming with many great musicians, igniting the music scene and sparking the comment ‘damn, I didn’t know they picked cotton in Scotland!’.
However, not everything has been gifted to Andy, and this explains his lost years. When Rob Ellen wrote ‘Andy Gunn is the blues’, he was referring to the deep personal tragedies that have affected Andy’s life and health. Born with Haemophilia, as a child, Andy was one of the patients affected by blood products contaminated with HIV and Hepatitis C via the clotting medication Factor 8. For many years, Andy campaigned to bring justice for his fellow victims of the contaminated blood scandal. These protests eventually helped to bring ex gratia payments to the bleeding disorder community. 
But his desire to play and the strong support he received from fellow musicians during this period resulted in a phoenix from the ashes moment in that, the years lost to illness were transmuted, with great thanks to Martin Stephenson, into the brilliant and soulful album ‘Miracle of Healing’. It was also during this period that Andy battled an HIV related cancer for the second time and came through the other side. Here, his intelligent articulation of personal tragedy, wealth of experience and unique talent shows, in Ellen’s words, why ‘Andy is a true guitar great of the old school and a living blues legend of the modern age’.
However, although Andy can articulate the blues like no other, his optimism, style and astounding talent means seeing him perform is an electrifying, uplifting and unforgettable experience. When Blues in Britain described Andy’s music as ‘a resounding triumph over adversity’, they were exactly right.  The Andy Gunn Band goes from strength to strength, playing gigs throughout the UK, recently taking the stage at the Darlington, Orkney and Dundee Blues Festivals and at the Northern Roots Festival in Inverness.
Andy's fifth and highly anticipated album ‘Too Many Guitars To Give Up Now’ is due for release early 2018 and features some of the best musicians in Scotland, taking Andy back to his blues roots.

Guitarist and founder of the Crossroad Blues Band
