Drumset performance/studio recording

(singer/songwriters, jazz, rock, pop, musical theater/pit orchestras) 

* as a drummer, Scotty charts and prepares songs/arrangements before the recording session or rehearsal to give you a strong foundation, and provides flexibility and multiple options for drum grooves/ feels that suit your music. Unique from many drummers, Scotty is equally confident playing by ear AND sight reading charts/composed drum parts in MANY styles. 

* Scotty also loves the process of contributing creatively when it is welcome for the project. Teamwork, unity, and respect for the song comes first!
