Here is a description of the drum set I use for the above arrangement;

Specialized for studio recordings only.
It is a 1970 slingerland kit that I completely custom restored myself from the bare shells up. I modernized it by filling all the hardware holes in the shells and discarding all the mounting brackets, legs and spurs that were bolted onto to the shells. I then sent the shells out to Ross Garfield, founder of Drum Doctors, who custom precision cut the bearing edges for me. Finally I suspended all the drums from a custom aluminum tube rack that I built from scratch with a spiderweb style cradle of bungee cord for each drum. There is NO hardware whatsoever touching these shells and even the kickdrum is suspended a half inch off the floor. The drums are now free to resonate in their natural frequency without the dampening effect of all the steel hardware bolted onto them. They now sing out their true musical tone with a sustain that is unmatched by any other drumset I have ever heard or played. This kit is for recording only.

I can also appear at your studio of choice and record there.

below is a description of the drumset I use for this arrangement;

It is my own recreation and exact replica of the legendary 1973 Ludwig amber vistalite set that John Bonham played at Madison Square Gardens for the Led Zeppelin feature film "The Song Remains the Same" Legendary Led Zepplin drummer John Bonham chose this drum set for a reason... and so did I. This kit is without a doubt the loudest drum set in the history of rock and roll, but at the same time it can be instantly dropped in volume and intensity to a whisper under the touch of a skilled dynamic hand. It includes a 26" kick drum, supra-phonic crome snare, 14" rack tom, plus 16"and 18" floor toms. All the cymbals were specially ordered from the paiste Switzerland main fabrication house for me by Andrew Shreve at Paiste with the exact dimensions and thicknesses of the original bonham line up incl. the original silkscreen outline logos.

I also have a wide range of custom snare drums and a vintage Zildjian cymbal selection. Plus a huge selection of hand drums.

I will also include a manifesto of sorts detailing my disposition and skills for your review and consideration...

I play drums

I play with a natural feel and rhythmical spirit in my drumming like no other you've ever heard, from the heaviest bonham-style groove, to the most delicate, subtle, dynamic expression. I play exactly what the music tells me to play and take my cues from the sounds I hear.
I don't really have a plan or agenda about where I'm going musically.
I love to play perform and record.
I listen to everything going on around me at all times.
I have great ears and play extremely intuitively.
I am friendly, kind and 100% professional.
I play directly from the heart soul and spirit, not from the mind or ego.
I don't like to plan, rehearse or be told what to play... unless you are telling me with your instrument!
I've been playing drums and listening to the greats since I was a little kid of 3 years old, and if I don't know what to do for the song by now it just isn't meant to be. I realize that there are circumstances sometimes when it is truly neccesary to tell me in words what to play. The obvious downside to this scenario is that I have to use my mind to do it rather than playing what comes naturally straight from my heart and soul, and I lose inspiration and interest very quickly at that point.
I want people to understand how to get the most out of me as a creative force, in any artistic endeavor we may embark on together. What I play depends on what I hear and how it makes me feel.

Spontanaeity, inspiration and creativity rule my world!!

Very Best Regards, James
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone with a passion for creativity in music, art and filmwork.

Our collaboration over the years has been more than fruitful and I would like to make a public declaration now...The music, well, of course it's the whole point. Our session last night embodied the melodies and balance that others dare to achieve. Soulful and comfortable. You are my favorite drummer.

James, thanks so much for saving our asses! It’s so stressful looking for a drummer to fill-in on such short notice- and James got the job done. I was very impressed how much time you put into learning our songs- you truly are a drummer who drums for a living. So here’s our story people- we didn’t have a drummer on Monday, so we rehearsed twice with James…and on Friday we rocked the Double Down in Las Vegas!

What can I say...James is a very talented individual. It's not easy entrusting your song to someone you just met, but I must say that James handled the whole process with a sensitivity toward what I wanted. He delivered a great drum line AND bass line, and he mixed and mastered the whole track very well. If you're looking to take your track to the next level, you can't go wrong with Jdrums! Give him a try! - Justin Sheehy (Crash and Burn)

Keep beatin' those skins!

also, James makes you feel so comfortable tow ork with, He is perfect to work with! Im used to having that stage fright in studios, but James has a genuine way of makin an artist feel like his brother or sister, and that to me is well worth it. His equipment is so pro by far. I came out with a radio ready version of the song,
