For recording drums: send Adam demos, he’ll record drums and send the tracks back to you;
Adam has 18 years of experience in studios, on both sides of the glass. Send Adam your WAV files via email or regular mail (CD/DVD), send charts for songs (if available), and Adam will record his parts by himself in his studio. If you'd like to have Adam record in a top of the line studio, you can arrange to have this done (write him an email to that effect). There are plenty of great drum rooms in the Toronto area. Once Adam has finished laying down the drums for your songs, he'll email or snail mail you the results in the desired format.
