Drummers looking to improve their studio skills, tone, workflow, and understanding of recording. Suitable for intermediate to advanced drummers who want hands-on, practical experience.

My “Fixing The Drumsound” masterclass is designed for recording engineers, mix engineers and producers who want to master drum tuning, dressing and recordings and are looking for a holistic perspective and deeper understanding of how to get the best tones and performances possible.

It combines performance, instrument, tuning, room, recording, editing and mixing into one coherent workflow — not just drum technique or basic recording.

I’m unable to offer discounts. However, for participants within the EU, there are several ways to apply for funding. If you live in the Netherlands, I can provide additional information — just send me a message and I’ll get back to you.

Yes. 21% BTW (Dutch VAT) is automatically calculated at checkout and included in your total — so there are no surprises.

Yes – but not automatically. I haven’t found a system reliable enough for automatic VAT number validation yet, so I currently handle it manually.

If you're an EU business (excluding The Netherlands) with a valid VAT number, please contact me before placing your order using the contact form. Include the following details:

• Your VAT number

• Company name

• Company address

• Email address

I’ll manually validate your VAT number and apply the exemption if everything checks out.

Please note: This does not apply to Dutch customers.
