Choosing the right player

Before reaching out, it's worth thinking through exactly what your project needs:

• Live vs studio vs remote: If you need someone on stage, confirm availability for your specific dates and check whether travel or accommodation is required. For studio work, consider whether you need the drummer physically present or whether a remote session from their own setup will serve you just as well — remote recording has become a genuinely professional option for many productions.
• Genres and services: Review the genres and service types listed on each profile carefully. Nico covers Rock, Funk, and Hip Hop/Rap and offers both in-person and remote recording options, as well as full tour availability.
• Travel: Nico is based in Austin but willing to travel internationally, so don't rule him out if your dates take you further afield. Always clarify travel logistics and any associated costs directly with the artist.
• Direct contact: All LDC-listed players handle their own bookings, so you'll be speaking with the drummer themselves — straightforward for both sides.
