EXCEPTIONAL DRUM RECORDING STARTS HERE

I've spent most of my life behind a drum kit. As a drummer and engineer, I've spent more than two decades chasing great drum sounds.

When I built Ultimate Studios, one thing was non-negotiable: the room had to sound incredible for drums.

From intimate singer-songwriter recordings to hard-hitting rock sessions, every part of the studio was designed to help artists capture drum performances that elevate the entire record.

A FULL-SERVICE RECORDING STUDIO

While drum recording is a major focus, Ultimate Studios is a complete recording and production facility serving artists throughout Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.

We have a large 600sq ft. live room, ISO booth and comfortable control that can easily hadle a large band. Want to track everyone live together? No problem! We do this a lot and it's a great way to capture the real energy of the performance.

The Control Room is centered around a 32 channel Trident 88 console that sounds amazing! It's flanked by choice analog gear to help craft tones even further.

In addition to the drums we have guitar amps from Marshal, Blackstar, Framus, Orange and a full Ampeg SVT rig for bass as well.

There is also a Yamaha U1 piano and a Hammond M3 organ that has been modded to be used with guitar amps.

Services: • Drum Recording • Full Band Recording • Music Production • Mixing • Overdubs • Remote Collaboration

DRUM RECORDING at my core

Built by a drummer. Engineered by a drummer.

I've spent over 25 years as a drummer and chasing drum tones in a deep passion of mine and that has transitioned into helping other artists find the perfect tones for their songs.

Every drum session starts long before the record button is pressed. The process includes drum selection, tuning, room setup, microphone selection, analog signal paths, and helping artists achieve powerful, natural, inspiring drum sounds.

The live room was designed to capture both punch and depth while a carefully curated collection of drums, microphones, and outboard gear allows each session to be tailored to the music.

We have multiple drum sets from Ludwig Drums (Classic Maple & Legacy Mahogany) and Pearl Drums with over 20 snares in the collection.

THE STUDIO PHILOSOPHY

The best recordings start with great performances.

Technology matters. Equipment matters.

But nothing matters more than creating an environment where artists feel comfortable enough to deliver their best work.

The goal isn't simply to record music. The goal is to capture performances that connect with people.
