Charlie offers a remote recording service, able to send you high quality drum and percussion tracks for your next single, album or EP.

From his home studio, Charlie is able to record all of the sounds you could need, from drums to congas, percussion and even timpani. With years of recording experience under his belt, you can be guaranteed great tracks, just the way you want them. For some examples of previous work, please check out the media page. Charlie can process tracks with light EQ and panning if desired, or send all of the raw files over for you to mix to your own liking, whichever is best for you.

Rates vary depending on project type and size, get in touch using the button below for a quote. A consultation over Zoom or by phone can also be arranged if you’d prefer to discuss your project one on one.

The setup and sound can be tailored to you, whether it’s a vintage 60’s sound you want, something a little jazzy or even 70’s concert toms, Charlie has the tools to make it happen, as well as a vast selection of cymbals and percussion to incorporate as needed. If you have any specific requirements, please get in touch.

For most session work, Charlie uses Aston, Shure, & AKG microphones, Audio Technica headphones, Cosmic Ears in ear monitors and Logic Pro X recording software.

Some of the projects recorded in my home studio:

Weekend Vintage (Album), Ashley Walker

A joy to record these singles and the rest of the Weekend Vintage album in the studio, with one of the best bassists around, Ashley Walker. This project was talked about too in a Groovecast Episode if you want to hear some behind the scenes goodness!

Playing through the super funky big band track, 'Bitter Suite' by Laurence Cottle, from The Ultimate Big Band. Featuring the wonderful Ashley Walker on Bass.

Nice, open drum sounds, solid maple Craviotto snare and the Natal Cafe Racer kit, complimented with a smattering of Zildjians and mixed by yours truly.
