Over the years he has worked with an extraordinary range of internationally acclaimed Grammy Award-winning and Platinum-selling artists including Roy Ayers, Steve Winwood, Brian May, Van Morrison, Ronnie Wood, David Gilmour, Beverley Knight, Marcos Valle, Mayra Andrade, Lewis Taylor, Terry Callier, Alexander O'Neal and Joe Lee Wilson among many others. As a touring artist, he has performed at many of the world’s most prestigious venues and festivals including Madison Square Garden, Royal Albert Hall, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, Glastonbury Festival, WOMAD, Love Supreme Jazz Festival and We Out Here Festival.

Since 2021, Tristan has also been curator and venue manager at The Verdict Jazz Club, helping revive one of the UK’s most respected independent jazz venues following the global pandemic. Under his direction, the club has hosted leading UK and international artists and received widespread recognition within the contemporary jazz scene. In 2023, Tristan released his critically acclaimed debut album View From Above, blending jazz, Latin jazz and fusion influences through virtuosic performances, cinematic textures and deeply melodic compositions.

Tristan Banks -  Jazz Drums features multiple production and microphone variations designed for maximum versatility. Choose between classic close-mic recordings for punch and clarity, or immersive ribbon room mic versions that capture the natural ambience and warmth of the venue.

A standout feature of the pack is the custom “Pianoverb” recording technique, which is an experimental acoustic reverb process created by recording the sympathetic resonance of open piano strings to emulate the diffuse harmonic bloom of vintage jazz recordings. The result is a uniquely organic spatial texture unavailable in conventional digital reverbs.

In detail, you’ll find 1.25 GB of 24-bit 44.1 kHz WAVs - 219 Ribbon Room Mic Drum Loops and 210 Close Mic Drum Loops. 

Perfect for jazz productions, lo-fi, hip hop, neo soul, cinematic scoring, downtempo, house, funk and experimental electronic music, Tristan Banks -  Jazz Drums provides deeply musical performances with authentic human feel and premium analogue-inspired sonics.
