Music Producer · Session & Touring Drummer
Rafasky
Music producer and groove-first drummer based in Bangkok. I build records from the first sketch to the final mix, and bring the backbone to studio sessions, tours and live shows.
About
I'm a music producer and drummer based in Bangkok. I started playing at nine, trained in Israel, and have spent over two decades behind the kit, on stages and in studios, writing and producing with some of the city's most loved bands.
As a producer I take songs from the first sketch to a finished record: arrangement, drum production, recording, editing and mixing. My credits run through albums, EPs and singles across the Bangkok scene, from Face to Face with Face Jackson to Sonomamade, which I produced for U-Key & the Sailors. Along the way I've had the privilege of recording with international producer Theo Crous of Bellville Studios, Cape Town, and with Grammy-nominated mix engineer Lance Powell.
As a drummer I'm built for the studio and the road. In a session I'm fast, tight and ready: charts learned, sounds dialed, take one counts. On tour I bring the same energy to night thirty as to night one. Groove comes first, the song comes first, and everything I play serves both.
