The Story Behind Recording Drums With Brad

I picked up drumsticks at four and learned by playing along to records until I could nail every part. By 14 I played my first show, and in high school I was already performing with older musicians — learning early that growth comes from being around people ahead of you.

At 15 I stepped into a recording studio for the first time and was hooked. The sound, the gear, the process — it all clicked instantly.

In my early 20s, while attending audio engineering school, I created a simple design inspired by a musical concept (“E = Fb”). What started as a quick sketch turned into a product that grew worldwide, became a top seller, and led to a decade-long endorsement with bassist Jeff Berlin.

After years of playing in bands and learning from engineers, I built my own recording space as home recording became more accessible. Since then, I’ve created drum tracks for artists around the world and composed music featured on major networks like HBO Max, TLC, Apple TV+, Discovery+, and Univision.

Recording Drums With Brad was created to share everything I’ve learned — from technical skills to creative mindset — so drummers, engineers, and producers can achieve professional drum sounds from home.

Every drummer deserves to sound as good as they play. That’s what this is all about.
