Garrett Hawkins

Studio Drumming

Recording music is my absolute favorite thing about being a musician. There’s something truly incredible about watching the songs you’ve worked hard on finally come to life. I’ve had the privilege of drumming for a wide range of artists across many genres to make their songs sound just the way they want. If you’re looking for a real drummer to bring some life to your tracks than I would be happy to help.

How it Works

Send Your Songs

First you send me your song in any state. It can be a rough demo, or a nearly complete recording, as long as it’s recorded to a metronome.

Drum Recording

A range of options are available depending on your budget: I can record at either my private studio, or a state of the art studio in Nashville, TN.

Make Changes

I'll send you a rough cut of the song to listen to. We can discuss any adjustments or edits you want made, and then I can re-record or make edits until you are completely satisfied.

Get Tracks

Get your new tracks in either a stereo mixdown or as individual stems for you to drop right into your DAW. I can also perform mixing and editing for you if desired.

I’ve recorded hundreds of drummers and can say that Garrett is the real deal. Hiring Garrett will make your tracks sound infinitely better than using generic, programmed drum tracks.
