How are We Different from other Music Production Schools?
Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings is not a home-based studio, it is a professional music recording studio with high-tech equipment and state-of-the-art facilities.
Our studio is the creation of Samori Coles, who started recording music in a friend’s home with just two cassette decks, a small mixing board, Casio keyboard, drum machine and microphone.
Within the first year of discovering that music was his passion, and a dream that could also become his career; Samori resigned his position as a Financial Analyst, boarded a Greyhound Bus in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, and relocated to Philadelphia to start his own music recording company.
The name “Lil’ Drummaboy Recordings” has a very interesting origin. Shortly after Mr. Coles’ arrival in Philly, his mom sent him a package filled with pictures from his childhood.
One of those photos was of 3 year-old Coles sitting on his very first drum set. Upon seeing that picture, Samori uttered “Lil’ Drummaboy”, and the name was thus proclaimed.
