This is producer and engineer SAMUEL JAMES JOHNSON's page, set up mainly for research info, and a contact point for bands looking to record. I will try to keep a varied list of songs to represent multiple styles and mix approaches. Above are recent mixes, and below are recent bands I have worked with (If you want to hear more).
Also for interstaters and out of towners - Three Phase Studios (where I do the bulk of my work in melbourne) now has accommodation available. Call them on (03) 9380 5884 for booking or accommodation availability.
Don't expect a sales pitch here, but if you need to know any more - feel free to message me. I will say that with the exception of Tenth Dan having a layered kick, all other songs on my page are ALL REAL DRUM SOUNDS (I prefer it that way if possible). If you want a Three Phase gear list, look at the blog (SSL), or check out their new myspace page up soon (with a pretty new polished hardwood floor, desk etc).
If I sound familiar, it may be from touring (FOH mix, stage manager, tour manager) or from one of my past or present bands.

"We’ve all had some bad recording experiences in the past, so it was great working with Sam who knows how you sound and has a great approach to working with bands in a studio environment…..he’s a very patient guy!" - A Death in the Family.
