Where To Hire Session Drummers Online?

where to hire drummers online

There are primarily 2 platforms which are being used in 2023 to find session drummers online.

Fiverr and SoundBetter.

Sure, there are others, but these two dominate the market and your best chance of finding a good drummer who can play your music will be here.

Both platforms became popular for different reasons and have their own pros and cons.

So, let’s get directly into it and explore both.

1. Fiverr

Fiverr is one of the biggest freelancing platforms in the world and absolute best place for finding freelancers for creative work.

Services on Fiverr are known as gigs. When you search for drumming you can see over a1000 gigs listed for drumming. Within that you can find drumming services for a ton of different genres like Rock, metal, pop, jazz etc.

A major benefit is the that with so many options you are able to find the person who not only has the right skill set but is also within your price range.

I have offered my services on the platform as a metal online session drummer for several years and have gained more than 600 5-star reviews. You can check out my profile here.

3. Air Gigs and other

Air Gigs was launched back in 2012 as one of the first marketplaces for musicians. It’s similar to SoundBetter and dedicated to only musicians. It’s a great place to find talented drummers.

A lot of Youtube drummers also offer session drumming services. If you like the drumming of a particular Youtuber, just reach out and ask if they will be available! Though you need to know that one of session players would charge you more. 

I am a Top Rated Seller on Fiverr with 600+ 5-star reviews and would love to work with you!
