What does it take to be an online session drummer these days?

Creating the Sound's co-founder Dylan Wissing discusses the opportunities and challenges of working as a remote session drummer in the online era, where one is expected to be a drummer, drum tech, audio engineer, producer, mix engineer and Internet marketer - all in the same session!

Filmed live at the Percussive Arts Society annual national convention, Dylan discusses his path to becoming a successful session drummer, demonstrates some of the tracks he's played on, and offers advice for aspiring session drummers to build their own careers.
