We’re leaving our beloved farm after 9 months of countryside bliss and 24/7 really loud music.
But we’ve found a new farm even further away from anyone else (set in 250 acres!) with plenty of scope for a new, bigger, better studio. While we sort out the move and get settled in and setup, I won’t be getting much recording done. I’ll be on the email though so get in contact anyway and I’ll be able to give you a more accurate estimate for dates and stuff.
Legendary engineer and all round quality bloke Rob Aubrey (Spock’s Beard, Asia, Tony Levin, Thomas Lang) came round to our farm the other day to have a look around, chat about recording and give us any tips for getting good band sounds from our home studio. He had loads of great tips including how to get a sweet vocal sound, and combining drumagog samples and organic snare samples to make a hybrid snare BEAST.
We’re super grateful that he’d give us his time when he’s so busy (must have been the offer of food?)
PMK is a recording project led by some sick musicians from Southampton, and this video is me recording a drum track for them.
Enter Shikari
This was recorded using all my lovely new mics (using drumagog for the Bass Drum), and the video was from my Blackberry (which is why it’s so small and the colours are very 70s!)
"We're the Sudanese Playboys and went to Tim in Jan '09 to work out and record some drum tracks. We spent 2 days with him and the man is brilliant! He learns real fast, is inventive and a joy to work with. The quality of the tracks is first class and he delivers them in double quick time. Can't praise him or the experience enough.

“We’re very pleased with Tim’s service. He is both reliable and competitive. The recordings are first class and we look forward to having Tim in our band for many years!” - C.W, Reading

What my customers say:
“The drums came through today, and they’re fooking brilliant!
Honestly, they’re perfect.
Thank you so, so much.
I’ll definitely be contacting you in the new year asking for more. I’m a happy man.” - Dan Markland www.myspace.com/danmarkland)
“Tim is patient, generous, quick to respond, and has an apparently miraculous ability to learn complex time signature changes by ear with quite astonishing speed.” - James Duffy
“The tracks Tim did were great. Dead simple. A quick chat on the phone and he was away. I was initially a little doubtful, but he absolutely nailed it.” - Martin Delgado myspace.com/mataderocinco
