The room
pictured is the largest room (30x35x12). It offers an
open ambient sound (Zeppelin), or with the use of gobo's,
has the versatility of a tight room (Al Green). Our middle
room (20x18x12, no photo), can be mic'd from the large
room, capturing its spacious ambience: simply open the
doors that isolate these rooms from one another. This
room is a diverse drum room, not too big and not too
small. It can be really tight, or nice and open. Both
rooms have wood floors and the walls are a variety of
cement, plaster and wood. There is an isolation booth
adjacent to both rooms, allowing visual accesses to all
three. Each room has a variety of bass traps on the ceiling
and sections of the walls. Imagine any drum sound: you
can have it!!
