NEED HIGH QUALITY DRUM TRACKS FOR YOUR SONG?

Check out my Soundbetter profile and consider hiring me for your project! Thank you!

"I play for the song!" As a producer, I want what is best to convey the message of the song - instrumentally and lyrically. This is very important to my musical concept! My services are rendered from my studio located in Southwest Florida.
 

A friend once said to me, "It's not always the gear, but it is ALWAYS the EAR!" My studio rig is mostly in the box. I use Waves, Slate Digital, and Izotope plugins. Cubase Pro 13 is my main DAW but I can export audio tracks to your specifications. I use high quality Focusrite RED preamps and interface. I proudly use Meinl Cymbals, Yamaha drums and Goodwood drumsticks. As a drummer, my specialty is recording drum tracks for singer/songwriters for their songs.


I have worked with members of Steely Dan, AC/DC, Yes, The Moody Blues, Bad Company, Goo Goo Dolls, Parliament, Rickie Lee Jones, Vonda Shepard and many other hard working, lesser known artists. I also really enjoy mixing material that I didn't record. I have mixed hundreds of songs for artists that I haven't met in person - only via Soundbetter and social media and almost ALL of them have been repeat customers! I am proud of that!

Testimonials

Elliott Randall testimonial for Darrell Nutt
"

When I first met Darrell he was 17 years old. I took a trip to Buffalo NY, visiting a band that I'd played with in NYC, and agreed to do a show with them. They had a new drummer - Darrell. All I can say is that he knocked my socks off.

 

To summarize, Darrell has a raft of intuitive sensibilities to his playing. He quickly understands the piece of music in front of him, and does it justice. Subtle and sensitive, to rhythmic dance music, to hard metal bashing, and everything in between, including (honest) C&W music and old-school R&B are all parts of his palette.

 

We've played many shows/concerts together for decades, and we've been a recording team for almost as many years.

 

Darrell Nutt is not only the drummer's drummer - he's the musician's musician.
