Here is a clip of a drum cover I have done. I experimented with effects and reverb in the verses of the song.
“Gord delivered on all levels. He was able to work with me until I was completely happy with the tracks. He took my notes and executed them better than I imagined. He also came up with really cool original ideas. He was easy to communicate with and I felt he really got what I was going for. The quality of the drum recordings was excellent, totally pro. Gord was able to give me a good drum mix and also offered to give the individual stems so all bases were covered. He’s a highly skilled drummer with a great feel who took my project to another level. I fully and completely recommend . Thank you Gord!”
