I have been taking lessons from Frank for a couple months now, and have been throughly enjoying every lesson and also seeing a lot of progress despite not having any drumming experience. 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! read more

I am completely dumfounded that someone could leave a negative review of Frank's efforts in any capacity, 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. read more

Yelp says "Recording and Rehearsal" studio but the owner on 4/10/25 informed me they do not offer a rehearsal space, only recording. After communicating with the owner I realize this discrepancy was unintentional and not his fault. The owner, Frank, by the way was really kind to reply to my inquiry quickly and from his XCLNT reputation in our community (I live nearby) I'm leaving 5 stars anyway. When my band's ready for some recording we'll definitely contact Studio-333 again. read more

I've worked with Frank from Studio 333 numerous times. He's a world class professional with tremendous talent and ethic. His studio is awesome! I got to take part in a couple sessions and he delivered! Pro gear and attitude! Lastly, you GOTTA hear the guy on drums!! read more

New year, new me right? Over the years I was a broken record talking about how I wanted to learn the drums but never got around to doing it. Fast forward to the new year and I told myself 2024 was going to be the year I do what *I* really want (I've also been dying for a creative outlet). As far as musical background I've only played the saxophone (and recorder ) but haven't played since childhood. I lean more clumsy and uncoordinated so imagine the anxiety about going into my first lesson lol. After the first couple of minutes I felt super comfortable; Frank is really nice, easygoing and patient. I couldn't believe I was actually playing music my first lesson! The setup is really cool; there are two drum sets facing each other (he's on the other side) and you're able to hear him and the music through the ear protection he offers. Another awesome bonus is that he records the session and sends to you to review which is helpful for the time between lessons. The hour goes by so fast! I am so glad to have found him on Yelp and very much looking forward to continuing my drumming journey. Highly recommend! PS: you're never too old to start!! read more

I've been playing drums for a little over 20 years now with no formal training so my style is all over the place, fortunately I've found Studio 333 where I have been able to develop my chops and have also learned to play new styles of music. Frank is a great, easygoing and patient teacher, I honestly wish I would've found him much sooner!! The set up is really cool as there are 2 drum sets facing each other so you can easily follow what you are being taught. The lessons are also recorded and then sent to you so that you can review them and practice them at home... that's a HUGE plus right there! Overall Frank is a great instructor and I look forward to more lessons at Studio 333. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Studio-333 - drums are set up facing each other. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

I take drum lessons with Frank and I couldn't ask for a better instructor. He can work with you at whatever level you're coming in at and each lesson is recorded so it's easy to reference for practice! Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking into drumming yourself! read more

I've recorded drums here many times. Frank is a great friend and a great hang! He fosters a fun yet productive workspace for us to nail the session. Here's where I save time... 1) I love that Frank has a great sounding kit already setup! I can walk in and be recording within just a few minutes. No load-in/load-out. No dialing-in sounds. MONUMENTAL TIME SAVER!!! 2) Because Frank is both a really good musician and also the recording engineer, I can count on his discerning ears. He usually anticipates my cuts or punch-in points before I even say them. 3) Frank is very knowledgable about a lot of music. I can tell him I want to make a section feel like a specific artist or song, and he understands the references. I highly recommend Studio 333 and Frank to everyone. read more

Frank is absolutely the #1 drumming instructor! I am so glad that we found him on Yelp! My 10-year-old son has learned drums from Frank on weekly basis for about one year already.

Studio-333 - Screenshot of a video recorded by Frank for my son's session. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

Frank is a great drumming instructor and I have loved taking lessons with him! As someone who had 0 music or drumming experience, he made sure to cover the basics and get me started at a pace I was able to follow and learn from. He is patient and helpful anytime I got to a part that I was struggling with. He goes above and beyond for his lessons as he provides all his drumming learners with a recorded video of your session so you can always look back to practice on your own. I definitely recommend him as an instructor if you were looking to start learning or improve. :) read more

At age 32, I was skeptical at learning an instrument I had never tried before. Frank reassured me that it was never too late and that people he's taught are from similar circumstances. He's very helpful in explaining techniques, while also pointing out fundamentals to work on, while letting me have fun with it. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. He even records my lessons for me to look back on and gives helpful homework to work on. I love how his studio is set up. The sound is great and I love that he has headphones for him to be able to talk to you over the loudness of playing. Check him out, you'll be happy you tried learning drums. If I can do it, you can for sure! read more

First time playing the drums, but Frank is such a cool, patient, dope player and his studio set up is awesome! His studio and practice makes it easy to learn and fun to play. He records our sessions and sends them after for review and continuous practice. Very happy I found and chose Frank and Studio-333!! read more

I started taking my 7 year old Grandson to Frank a few weeks ago. I cannot believe the things he can do on drums after only a few lessons. Frank is an amazing teacher and musician. My grandson always comes away after every lesson enthusiastic and excited to play his drums. Frank has a way of teaching that makes it fun and easy for his students to understand. We are so excited to see what the future holds! Arnie J read more

Awesome Drummer. Awesome instruction. Awesome guy. Frank is an experienced gig and sessions drummer with an impressive resume. I feel honored to take lessons from him. Even with his experience, he has the knowledge and demeanor to teach a casual novice like me. Moreover, he can take a novice and turn them in to a drummer with more serious aspiration. His instruction is top notch. At the end of the session you even get a video of the entire session. it's a good way to practice in between sessions.He is a rockstar and he can teach you to be a rockstar. read more

Frank has been super helpful getting us set up with a new kit at home and starting lessons at his studio. Talent like this is rare for the area and we're happy to be part of his fan club/student body. Lessons for elementary school kids are cost effective and he's super easy going with the kids. Can't wait to see how it works out! read more

My sister and I were looking for a covid friendly 60th bday surprise for our dad who loves to sing and we were looking for a recording studio where our dad could record his favorite songs professionally. We were beyond happy with our experience at Studio-333!! Frank was very clean and careful and wore a mask the entire time which made us feel very safe. He was so kind and patient to us and our dad and we were so comfortable during our time in the studio. We were sent the final songs digitally and my dad was VERY impressed with the quality of the sound and how knowledgeable Frank was when it came to all things music! We will absolutely be visiting Frank again soon! He definitely made my dad's 60th birthday one to remember. Thanks Frank!! read more

I wanted to take my drumming to the next level after self-instruction and Frank over at Studio-333 was the perfect choice! His teaching style ensures that you fully understand what is being taught to you at all times and nothing is skipped over. And communication is top-notch! Scheduling and rescheduling is never a hassle and always quick. Just after a few lessons my drumming improved tremendously, with bad habits being thrown out in just a few weeks! Whether you're a drummer already, or a complete beginner, Frank will always have something valuable for you to learn. read more

Well I couldn't be happier that I made the right decision choosing studio 333! My daughter is eight years old and had been asking me to take her to a studio for a while now. She said she has some music that she wanted to lay down and record.‍!! So I began looking around and came across studio 333 and while she was here on a visit from Texas decided to book a time slot the day before she was set to head back. My thoughts were if we came out with a song on a CD that she could take with her then success accomplished. So in sharing my thoughts with Frank at studio 333 what my goal was I decided to hand him the ball.. his game and I had no idea what to expect or how she would do throughout this experience. Let's just say that after four hours ANABELLA a.k.a."POP WORLD blew me away. The way she was able to get so comfortable so quickly what is the professional experience I found with Frank. He was able to set ANABELLA up for success by making her comfortable having never experienced a live recording session.AMAZING thanks for the place in studio 333 today Frank not only help me execute my plan but created a three song session that resulted in a priceless experience for me and most important my daughter. Frank please know how much I appreciate the time spent today helping ANABELLA achieve a important goal and step forward with her passion for singing and"rapping". I'm a proud father of a very excited little girl who today showed me she's not so little anymore! Big things happened in studio today . And it was the "PERFECT" her words!!!,going away gift I could have given her and I. She said you're hired and she's already pre-planning her next session I'm sure based on the CD we couldn't stop playing since we left the studio!!!!HOME RUN!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! SHE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT and so did I...!!!! read more

I had a great lesson with Frank today! Frank is friendly and professional, and has a great space for teaching. He has impressive video and recording equipment in his studio as well, but I was most impressed by his teaching and what I learned. I just recently started taking drum lessons 6 months ago. I'm a musician and I have been around many teachers my whole life, so I'm particular about who I study with. Frank was clear in his instruction and made sure I understood and "felt" the subtle changes while I played. He was patient and encouraging. I caught on quickly and felt more confident than ever before. Today I had so many "AH-HA!" moments that I could hardly keep from laughing. Frank helped me with technique, stick control, and basically showed me how to play with ease. My playing felt so effortless and natural and I was pleased with how much progress I made in just the first lesson. I can't wait for my next lesson. Franks studio is clean and orderly, and I also felt very safe. I highly recommend Frank for teaching both adults and children. Five stars for sure! read more

Wow wow wow! My 8 year old is so happy with her lessons with Frank! My daughter says she loves the way he teaches, he makes learning fun and has a blast! She says he is funn and attentive and is the coolest guy ever! I love the studio and the way he has it set up for focus of his students. He is able to immerse the kids and keeps their focus! A total reccomend! We are very happy and look forward to more time with Frank!! read more

Studio-333 - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me

I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument, specifically the drums, but never had the time to dedicate to it. For my 28th birthday my partner bit the bullet for me and bought a month of lessons with Frank. As a complete novice to music of any type, I was slightly nervous walking in but Frank made me comfortable and immediately started to instill confidence. 6 months in I can confidently say that Frank has helped me discover a new passion. He's always excited about things that I'm excited about whether or not it's a genre or level he would usually enjoy. For me, that's the sign of someone who truly loves to teach. He has even gone above and beyond just teaching drums and has also helped me pick out my own kit and helped me pick out a new bass pedal. Overall, couldn't recommend Frank more. He's an excellent teacher for all ages and all levels. read more

I'm so happy with the progress of my nephew Ryan.  We have been coming to see Frank for close to two years now and Ryan is eager and confident.  To see him sit down at those drums and show such talent and enthusiasm is amazing.  Frank is so patient and really brings his best to all our sessions. read more

My daughter takes drum lessons from Frank. Can't say enough great things about Studio-333 and Frank! He seems to tailor lessons to my kid's interests, and pushes her to go past her comfort zone so she's learning new things. My daughter started lessons in the midst of the covid pandemic, and he took great care in making everything sanitary and safe. Definitely recommend lessons here! read more

I decided to randomly take up drum lessons this summer, and I've never felt this comfortable at any music lesson before. The studio looks great and feels professional. Frank explains everything starting from the basics, and gives you plenty of time to try out techniques he suggests. It was the optimal learning environment, especially for someone who was feeling some anxiety. The lesson is recorded so you can rewatch and practice everything that was taught. He also encourages fun ways to practice at home. I was nervous about learning something new, but now I feel so inspired and motivated to keep at it! Coming from an elementary school teacher, I have a lot to learn from Frank. 10/10! Thank you Frank!! read more

Recently moved to the area and typed on google, "recording studio's near me." Results came up and gave me some studio's around the area, but the one that stood out to me the most was: "Studio-333." I was instantly drawn to that as 33 is a number that I have been rampantly seeing throughout my life recently. Upon booking an appointment and going to the studio I was impressed right away. Frank was very kind, as well as patient, and was willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that our recordings sounded crisp and on point. I promise you this: If you go to Studio-333 you will not be disappointed. I will be going back to record more jams in the future! Thanks a lot Frank!!! read more

Frank Reina and Studio-333 have always come through for me ! Frank is a stellar drummer who gets the job done quickly, professionally and for a reasonable price. The drum tones he gets are pro-level, his playing is nuanced and appropriate for each song... but If you happen to want something changed he graciously does so. Bottom line, if you need drums or other recording/production services, don't hesitate to hire this man. read more

Frank has always been one of my favorite drummers and Studio 333 is also now my go-to for recording needs. You know you will get an amazing quality recording and have a great time while doing so.
