In the latest issue of Rhythm we present the final installment of our series explaining everything you need to know about setting yourself up as a remote session drummer. With improvements in technology and a reduction in the number of studios booking real drummers, a lot of session drummers are taking things into their own hands by setting up studio spaces and building a healthy online client base.
In this part, we look at one of the most important part of any session drummer's life - the music. Ralph Salmins, Russ Miller and Cliff Jones help James Hester uncover the key skills required to deliver a killer drum track that serves the music and keeps your client happy!
