Frank's teaching style is very open and catered to the student and he makes learning very fun and is also very encouraging especially for beginners! I would highly recommend if you're looking for a drum teacher/lessons, Frank is very helpful and knowledgeable!

I am completely dumfounded that someone could leave a negative review of Frank's efforts in any…read morecapacity, whether they be studio drumming, lessons, recording--you name it. He is a consummate professional and one of the hardest working people I have ever met in my life, who makes this look easy (doing music professionally). The only people who would leave a negative review are posers and reverse-shills. Having worked with Frank in nearly every facet, short of being taught how to play drums (I have taught with him though for years), it goes without saying for me, that he is worth every star I just gave him, because that is what he is: a star and a sun. If you don't believe that as well, it is because you reside in the shadows, where you belong. A bright star casts a dark shadow, and there you are. Frank has played on many of my songs and has recorded and engineered on more songs than I can count well beyond my meager contribution to music as an art form. You don't need to take my word for it. Try him yourself, and then one will not be speaking from a place of ignorance, in the shadows.

The studio owner and recording engineer is highly knowledgable and friendly. The studio staff are all very helpful and organized. Everybody really cares about their craft. The space itself is beautifully built and invites creativity. The atmosphere is relaxed but professional. There are several rooms for recording. As a drummer, most of my time is spent in the main room. The Hear No Evil team sets up sessions quickly while maintaining a positive atmosphere. My recording process has always gone smoothly. There are a wide range of instruments, microphones, and amps to choose from and the staff will help recommend what to use for the best result. If it's a longer session, there is a microwave and fridge to heat/store some food. Parking is on-site, free, and abundant. I give Hear No Evil my highest recommendation!

As an artist paying for studio time, that's incredibly distracting and disrespectful. I did not feel valued as a client. After leaving, I was repeatedly asked to rebook, instead of being asked how the session went. Bad vibes kill creativity. I would never go back. UPDATED Feb 1-11:24pm After leaving this review, the owner Elliot messaged me AGAIN on Instagram. Took zero accountability and only cares about his image. NOT the client. To address your comment, I asked for a discount, cuz your interns run the session. As Indie artists we have to fight to protect a space we paid for. Often times we don't have other options in the area so we suck it up, but no more! This is not a good studio. I would not go back. Look at how he responds to feedback...

However, prices are going up in a month a couple bucks, so keep that in mind. They have small, medium, and large rooms. The medium room seems like a large to me. We got 7 people in there with amps. Unlike many rehearsal studios, this one provides a snare, in case you don't want to lug yours. I've seen the owner with a double bass pedal but am not sure if that is able to be used or you have to pay extra. The owner is pretty friendly. There is even a record store attached to the rehearsal studios. The only problem I've found was parking. Sometimes I get lucky and find a spot right out front, and sometimes I have to park all the way around the block. Still, it's totally worth checking out. Recommended for band practice.

The audio engineer was very patient with my son and his friends. They were writing down lyrics for the rap AT the recording studio, while the audio engineer was converting his song on spotify into his protools. Great microphone. An the recording quality was great, watching him move around protools sop fast was hypnotizing. The mix sounded great and he was teaching my sons friend how to play different chords on the guitar. He also taught him how to solo. He has a great keyboard with many sounds including a really good sounding rhodes, clavinet, and piano. He shared a lot of wisdom and showed my son where to get protools and how to use it. My son and one of his friends rapped, and he was patient, giving them as many tries as they would like. he also added beat drops, and quickly mixed the song down. He airdropped it to me. My son, his friends, and I were overall completely satisfied with his performance, patience, swiftness, wisdom, and kindness. I highly reccomend this studio, and hope you will give it a try!

He worked very fast but didn't rush us at all. He went far and beyond all of our expectations that were accumulated from past recording experiences at other studios. The studio itself is so nice and feels very comfortable and inviting. It's the kind of place that you want to hang out in. Very cool vibe . Super clean and while you're recording it puts you in a creative place. I would absolutely recommend Big Ego studios. Our EP sounds great and my band is very blown away by how awesome the experience was. Tristen is the man! Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
