Record the Drums in My Home Studio

When playing drums on an artist’s album my goal is to play drum parts that tastefully and musically reflect the artist’s music. My goal is not to play inappropriate drum parts that get in the way of an artist’s songs. When you hire me to record drums on your album you have final say on creative decisions and at any point during the preparation and recording process you have the right to provide input and feed back regarding what I am playing.
With this option (My Home Studio) I would do the following:
1. The artist could send me their bed tracks and any instructions they may have for me in regards to how they would like the drums to work on their songs.
2. I would record the drum parts at my studio and upload them to a private page on my website where the artist could check out what I have done (I would set it up so that others should not be able to access the web page or download your songs). The artist could then provide me with feed back regarding what they like and what they may want changed regarding the drum parts.
3. I would then make any changes necessary and provide the artist with the final recordings.
4. I can provide the final tracks in Wave or MP3 format. In some cases, I can also provide a copy of the drum tracks in midi information format for those who want to edit using midi.
5. I can provide one file of the entire drum set as well as individual files for each drum and cymbal so that the artist can mix the relative volume levels of each part of the drum set to their liking. This way, the artist and their producer have complete control over the drum set mix and can add effects to each individual drum and cymbal if they want.
