ABOUT

I have a free account so apparently I can't message you first, but I can reply to your message.

STUDIO READY: I'm available for remote or in-person studio sessions. If you're not booking a major studio (like Rarefied, Signature Sound, or Pacific Beat), I can record into Logic at home, then bounce the tracks if you use a different DAW.

We can jam and rehearse at my place. I have a PA, bass, keyboard amp...

You can find me on insta - BrendanOnDrums

Listen to my tracks for the drums, not the singers etc. I get that some of these might be polarizing.

==============================================

I started studying percussion in school band when I was 9. I've been drumming with bands since I was 15...

Alternative, Rock, Pop, Reggae, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Covers, etc.

I spent most of my 20s touring with a few different styles of bands on the east coast. I've toured the west coast a bit in my 30s. And the only real venues I have't already played in San Diego are The Sound and The Music Box.

From bands and session work I've done 25+ recordings; mostly albums, a few singles. Recorded in Los Angeles, San Diego, Washington DC, Virginia Beach, Nashville and New York City.

I also have audio and video production experience. I make a living with photography and video, so my schedule is flexible for music projects.

If your band is not marketable or your singer's voice doesn't cut it, let's not waste each other's time.
