Online session drummer Will Jones' recording kit. Gretsch and Pearl drums and Sabian cymbals.

Will's final tracks were fantastic studio quality recordings that took my album up that extra notch.

Sound Of The Underglow - Blackpool, England, UK
The drums sound a thousand times better than the ones I had programmed – to the extent that the drums are now probably the strongest point in the mix!

Very willing to listen to what is required and provided tracks quickly and made sure everything was received.

The Sounds Of Sulphur - Cheltenham, England, UK
Communication was superb from start to finish and the drum tracks i received were first-rate.

Mark Norgate - London, England, UK
He is very fast to respond to your requests and is working hard to please you with his work. He made four demos for me to find what suits best to my song!

John Georgilas - Thessaloniki, Greece
Will responded to a short notice request for a drum track on Christmas Eve and went into the studio and worked late that night!

David Caufield - Coquitlam, BC, Canada
He really listened to my ideas and made the tracks come alive - best online drummer I've come across.

Dan Bick - Birmingham, England, UK
As I am someone who can't play drums and can just about find their way round a drum machine, he's very tolerant of my lack of technical knowledge.

The Ritas - Birmingham, England, UK
As I am a one-man band, Will's the answer for taking my songs up to the next level.

He is fast, efficient, highly talented and very very professional. He was very quick to reply to emails and very accommodating.

Studio 909 - Port Laoise, Republic of Ireland

Damian Bradshaw - Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Will's drum tracks serve not only as integral components of your song, but as crucial elements that lift your tracks to a higher, better, more convincing level.

Rotting Apples - Bakersfield, CA, USA
From a simple click track Will was able to build a professional level set of drum tracks that fit my latest song perfectly.

Right from the beginning I felt my explanations and wishes very understood and he recorded very fast and professionally one song after another exactly to my taste!

Reborn Studio - Karlsfeld, Germany
This is so time-saving, just to save me the job of setting up microphones on a drum kit is more than worth the asking price.

Geir Widar Kristoffersen - Larvik, Norway
I have saved a lot of time using Drum Tracks Direct and releasing music on a regular basis is now a reality.

John Courage - Cardiff, Wales, UK

A top quality drum track produced in a fast and friendly manner for such a reasonable rate, what more could I ask!

Reece Williams - St. Austell, England, UK
Songs that need an aggressive in-your-face punch get just that, and when the tune is more laid-back he uses percussion mallets very nicely.

The Doorman - Utrecht, Netherlands
His drums are also very good value for money, particularly when compared to the cost of hiring practice and recording studios.

Normally I would use days or maybe weeks to plot drums for a song with Superior Drummer, but with Will I got high quality drum tracks delivered within days from my request!

Steven Beth - Livermore, CA, USA
Having worked for more than 20 years with many drummers in the studio as a producer I found Will a refreshing break for a drummer that thinks about the song's feel.

Olav Isak Sjøflot - Trondheim, Norway
