Human session musician vs. software - which solution is the most cost effective?

Article Category: Arts and Crafts

Author Name: K. Hell

The art of studio drumming has been established in the 1920's and 1930's when record companies started their business and produced thousands of records for the people who were excited by the new type of media which allowed them to carry their favorite music home on a record.
Most record companies - so to speak - owned bands who did the recording jobs for them as a steady job from 9 to 5. Many studio musicians recorded over 10.000 songs in 3 to 4 decades of being part of the recording industry.
One of the most famous session drummers in the 1970's, 80's and even 1990's is Kurt Kress (Curt Cress) who recorded drums for artists like Pet Shop Boys, Ike & Tina Turner, Eros Ramazotti, Cliff Richard, Chris De Burgh, Udo Lindenberg and Peter Maffay - just to name a few. In the 1980's Kurt Kress became so indispensable that he gained salaries of about 5.000 US$ per session. Compared to nowadays salaries for session musicians this is an enormous amount of money and it won't be reached again probably.
Because of the invention of drum machines, samplers and finally computers, musicians became replaceable and music producers were able to "record" all they needed for a song by "drag and drop" which led to a totally different approach of how to make music and how it develops. Nowadays there a ways to include "human" musicians again without spending tons of money for hungry musicians.

Because of high speed Internet connections and online communication tools like Skype and other software products some session drummers took the chance again to make a living from studio drumming and here is how it (mostly) works:.
Because of using their own setup like drums, microphones, preamps etc. they are able to record from their own studio rooms. Consequences are that there are no hotel costs any more which decreases the costs for a session enormously. Another point is that music producers don't have to own all the recording equipment by themselves. Neither they don't have to gain experience on how to record drums. In case a modern music producer is fed up with all these mechanical software drums without any human touch or passion they are able again to pay a small salary for such a remote drummer.

Some sessions start from 60-80 US$ for a single track depending on what kind if song has to be recorded and so on.
Salaries won't be as enormous as in the 1980's there is a new chance for musicians to monetize their skills by using the internet. Great skills as a musician or drummer in this case, passion for internet marketing and the ability to speak at least one foreign language open new doors of income for modern drummers.
