MIDI Drums

Do you need realistic drums while maintaining full flexibility over the sound? I record drum parts in MIDI using an electronic drum kit and a professional production environment. You get natural, human playing dynamics, along with the ability to freely change the sound at any stage of the production.

This is an ideal solution for producers, composers, and engineers who need live drums but want to keep maximum control over the project.

Live MIDI drums instead of mouse programming

Programming drums with a mouse often sounds unnatural and mechanical. A performance recorded by a drummer provides natural dynamics, groove, and micro–timing variations that create a professional sound.

I record drum parts in real time, so you get:

  • natural dynamics and articulation
  • realistic groove and feel
  • full MIDI editability
  • the ability to change the sound freely after recording

This is especially useful during production, arrangement, and composition stages, when you need to quickly test different drum concepts.

Any sound and full production flexibility

You can use the recorded part with any virtual instruments, such as:

  • BFD Drums
  • Addictive Drums
  • Native Instruments Studio Drummer
  • Toontrack (Superior Drummer / EZdrummer)
  • percussion and synthetic instruments
  • your own libraries and samplers

If you do not have your own virtual instruments, I can suggest appropriate sounds tailored to your track. You receive a MIDI file along with reference audio matched to your project. Feel free to get in touch.
