I invoice and receive payment for drum tracks through PayPal under most circumstances. However, I am open to alternate payment methods. Just let me know if PayPal is not a preferred option for you and I’m sure we can work something out.
No. Normally I invoice via PayPal after completing the recording. For first time clients, I am happy to bounce MP3 roughs of the drum takes against the scratch tracks for proof of concept. I only release the high-quality multi-tracks after payment has been made.
I do my absolute best to make sure that the drum takes clients receive provide suitable stylistic options as well as incorporate all client performance notes. I can count on my ten fingers the number of retakes requested over the last several years of offering remote drum sessions.
That said, if there’s a revision a client wants to be made, I charge a reduced fee of $75 per song to deliver a single revised take. The fee covers my time in recalling the session notes and kit sounds.
I’m not out to break budgets or stick clients with all sorts of fees. However, super long songs can take a much longer time to record and I might request additional payment to cover my work.
I do not have a hard limit but generally say anything within the 6-minute mark is covered by the song rate. For longer works, I get with the client on a case-by-case basis. If one song out of ten is super long, I may not charge any extra because of the quantity. If one song is 7 minutes long but super simple, I may not charge anything extra. If you have a one-off 13-minute rock odyssey, we will probably need to work out a custom rate. Always feel free to ask.
