Leander Widmoser
Touring & Studio Drummer
Studio
With over 600 recorded songs and a decade of experience, I deliver premium drum tracks and creative percussion layers tailored to your unique sound.
As a song-oriented player, I provide everything from 32-channel raw tracks to fully mixed rhythmic solutions—working independently or via live Zoom sessions from my studio.
I am dedicated to bringing your vision to life with world-class sound, precision, and character.
Touring & Live
With over 700 shows in the bank, I bring a decade of professional touring experience to every stage—from intimate clubs to major festival stages.
My focus is always on supporting the artist’s and MD’s vision, delivering with the precision and feel required to play for the music and the room.
From high-pressure sub-gigs for international acts like WizTheMc and Ray Dalton to intimate local club gigs, I am a reliable and professional collaborator who brings the right energy and a versatile touch to every performance.
Library Music & Samples
Beyond session work, I translate my obsession with tone into curated sounds & tracks for Sync and Library music.
My current portfolio features ‚Tape.’—a Lo-Fi/ambient project now streaming on all platforms—alongside ongoing work in minimal piano and background jazz.
Looking ahead to 2026, I am expanding my portfolio with the release of my first drum sample and loop packs, designed to bring your demos and productions to life quickly.
Studio Work
Working from my private facility gives me the freedom to craft sounds without compromise. With 8 kits, over 20 snares, and an extensive outboard rack (including 18 preamps, 10 EQs, and 4 compressors), I have the tools to serve the music perfectly.
I believe that every song deserves its own sonic language. Rather than following fixed formulas, I focus on a highly individual approach for every session. From subtle percussion textures and layered overdubs to the raw power of a drumset—every choice of microphone, cymbal, and drum is made to support the unique character of the composition.
