Professional Percussion Recording Services: Congas, Bongos, Cajon, and More

Hello! My name is Juanma Benítez, from Entre Ríos, Argentina. I am a professional session percussionist and stage percussionist, specialized in a wide range of music genres including Pop, Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Latin Music (Argentina, Cuba, Peru, Uruguay), Salsa, Son, and World Music. With over 20 years of experience playing percussion, I have honed my skills through various courses to ensure that I deliver top-notch performances in the studio and on stage.

When you hire me to record percussion for your project, you can expect a versatile range of instruments to choose from. For Pop music, I can add shaker, triangle, tambourine, cabasa, clave, and chimes to enhance the rhythm. If you’re looking for an authentic Argentine sound, I can incorporate the bombo legüero into the mix. For a Cuban flair, I excel in playing Conga, Bongo, Maraca, Guiro, Guira, Cowbells, Bombo, and Chekere. Additionally, my expertise extends to Peruvian instruments such as cajón, caja, quijada, congas, bongo, and congajon. I am also well-versed in Flamenco percussion like Cajon and Palmas, as well as creating Electronic Beats and incorporating various ambient sounds like Wind, Waves, Birds, Claps, Thunder, and Waterfall.

In my studio, I have a professionally acoustically treated 30m2 drum room that allows the drums to breathe and resonate beautifully. I use high-quality microphones including Shure 57, AKG d112, Samson C03, and Samson R21, along with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 interface. My preferred DAWs are Reaper, Ableton, and MPC beats, ensuring that I can deliver top-notch recordings that meet your specific requirements.

By hiring me as your session percussionist, you can enrich your music with the authentic sounds of various cultures and genres, adding depth and complexity to your compositions. Whether you need percussion for a single track or an entire album, I am dedicated to providing you with professional and captivating performances that elevate your music to new heights. Let’s collaborate and create something truly special together!
