My masterclasses are designed for modern studio drummers, producers, and engineers. Each course is built around my Holistic Drum Recording System, helping you combine performance, instrument, room acoustics, recording and mixing into one coherent workflow. Whether you want hands-on personal guidance, group learning or full drum recording, there’s a masterclass to suit your needs.

If you want to work with me in your own working environment or in another studio, simply get in touch with me via the contact form on this website. I love traveling to new places! All of my masterclasses are held in English, Dutch and/or German.

The Holistic Drum Recording System

Modern drummers are no longer just performers. We are expected to deliver fully produced, mix-ready drum tracks from our own studios — often without an external engineer, producer or large recording budget.

The Holistic Drum Recording System is my structured approach to integrating:

• Performance

• Tuning & tone shaping

• Room acoustics

• Microphone technique

• Phase awareness

• Editing

• Mixing decisions

• Artistic intention

Into one coherent workflow. Instead of treating drumming, engineering and producing as separate disciplines, this system connects them. Because great drum recordings are never the result of one good microphone. They are the result of aligned decisions.

Why “Holistic”?

Most recording problems are not recording problems.

They are:

• Tuning problems

• Arrangement problems

• Listening problems

• Phase problems

• Perspective problems

The Holistic Drum Recording System teaches you how to identify the real cause — and solve it at the source. Not in the mix.

The Outcome

When you understand the full chain — from the first hit with your stick to the speaker — you gain:

• Control over your tone

• Confidence in your setup

• Clarity in your workflow

• Faster sessions

• Professional, mix-ready results

You stop guessing. You start deciding.
