COMMON QUESTIONS

Do you work with beginners?

Absolutely. Whether it's your first track or your fiftieth, we'll meet you where you are and help you level up.

What DAW do you use?

We primarily work in Ableton and Logic, but we can work with stems from any DAW.

How long does a co-production session take?

Sessions are typically 2 hours. Complex projects may need multiple sessions.

Do you ghost-produce?

No. We help you build your skills and sound, but the music stays yours. We don't offer ghost production.

Can you master the track after production?

Yes - we offer a seamless handoff to our Mastering Lab with a 10% discount for production clients.

Who owns the rights to the finished track?

You do. 100%. We never claim ownership, publishing, or royalties on tracks we help produce. You retain full rights to release, distribute, and monetize your music however you choose.

Do you require a credit?

For co-production work, we appreciate a production credit (e.g., 'Co-produced by Big Drum Records') but it's not mandatory. For mix feedback, no credit needed.

WHY WORK WITH US?

Since 1995, Big Drum Records has been a cornerstone of the UK garage scene. We've witnessed the genre's evolution from underground warehouse raves to mainstream radio play, and we've been producing, releasing, and mastering UK garage music throughout this entire journey.

Our production services aren't generic - every session is focused on authentic UK garage sound. Our artists—Tova Brown, Chris Bass, Ray Hurley, and Jeff Big Drum—have decades of combined experience.

"What sets UK garage apart is its unique combination of technical precision and raw energy. The swing in the drums, the relationship between the kick and the bass, the vocal chops—these elements require specific knowledge."

Whether you're producing on a laptop in your bedroom or in a professional studio, we'll help you create tracks that capture the authentic UK garage sound.
