DRUM! Magazine’s July 2013 issue features session drummer Dylan Wissing of Indie Studio Drummer in the “Single Strokes” column. Wissing discusses the challenges of building a studio that was hit by two hurricanes in a row, as well as his work with Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Drake and others. The full article is available here:
We’re huge fans of the recording/engineering blog SonicScoop, so it’s a real honor to be featured on their site. “Is this innovative studio the new king of NYC drum rooms? Our latest ‘Sweet Spot’ is a strong contender,” says SonicScoop. Take a peek at our massive wall of drums, too (and that’s only a fraction of the collection)!

In a distant land long ago, our resident session drummer Dylan Wissing graduated with a degree in French from Indiana University. Old worlds are now colliding with new: it’s Dylan’s first appearance in Batterie Magazine from France! The translation, helpfully provided by the article’s author Patrick Buchmann:
Alicia Keys’s newest album has an impressive number of producers, arrangers and programmers. Only Dylan Wissing plays live drums on « Girl On Fire » which seemed programmed though. It’s just the other way around here for ‘When it’s all over’ : sounds pretty much like the real drums were played but they were programmed with ‘maestria!’
Dig the transcription to Alicia Keys’ song “When It’s All Over” – a completely programmed part, but it sounds amazing (and fooled Patrick and I into thinking it was tracked live by some badass jazz drummer). Vive la France!
Grammy win #1 for session drummer Dylan Wissing for his work on Drake’s album Take Care! Wissing played drums on the track “Lord Knows” for the disc, which won the “Best Rap Album” category at the 2013 Grammy Awards. Previously, Wissing was nominated for a Grammy in the same category last year for his work on Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne. Looking forward to big things in 2013!
