BROOKLYN SESSIONS: Recording in one of Brooklyn’s renowned recording studios, we went into these sessions looking for that earthy, gritty sound that has that alt and indie attitude from top to bottom.

Punchy, crisp, thick, but decidedly light on the processing polish – the type of sound that would work in a number of musical contexts because the natural sounds of an acoustic drumkit can and should be that versatile.

Covering styles from America roots to alt-rock and indie-rock, songwriters who want some rough and tumble attitude in their drum tracks will find thousands of beats and fills to choose for inspiration.
