the broken drum studio

The Broken Drum Studio is the dark horse of Edinburgh’s music studios. If you are a musician or in a band, this is the place to go. My favourite place!
Not only is the drum-​kit huge (and on an impressive rise) and more than ample for any ambitious percussionist, but the owner also offers drum tuition of a very high standard. (He also has extensive history of musicianship — he helped me with my clarinet skills and corrected me with my rather lacking knowledge of music theory of which I am a grade 7, and was generally a very helpful guy about it too — too often I encounter pretentious or arrogant musicians).
The equipment is top notch too: plenty of amps with strong dynamic range; more than enough to accommodate the picky guitarist. Mics are good too — plenty to patch up to instruments — and for the vocalists too obviously.
The owner will help make recordings too — he seems to know a great deal about the industry and editing. I have dabbled in jazz and nu-​metal — two vastly different sounds and two different worlds of recording, but the software as well as the hardware being used at the studio is definitely my first choice. All of it is reasonably priced; and, having been in more one band, I can say he was really helpful with the times too — my vocalist works a night shift and has pretty odd times to record, but, as I say, the owner was happy to accommodate.
I am making this place sound like a dream; but I suppose it is – any one who has been in a band has to deal with the crappy reality of getting the crew together and the general expense of it all — already there is stress; and often that can hinder playing; but The Broken Drum Studio is certainly more chilled out than the other places I have been to.
I think they do discounts as well — sorry, I cannot remember that. But great all in all.
