I booked a 3 hour session in their rehearsal space with a 5-piece band from 6-9 pm on a weekday. The good: CHEAP. $65 for three hours worked out to $13 per person. You can't beat that, CONVENIENT LOCATION. I live in Bethesda and love going to 7Drum City but it's too much of a hassle to get there on a weeknight. This place is one of the few rehearsal spaces out here in the burbs. The not-so-good: EQUIPMENT. The guitar and bass amps and mic were quite good. The keyboard was a joke, a cheapo gadget and not the full 88. The drum kit was in a sound booth, which made it a bit awkward, and had a cracked cymbal and some other issues. THE EXPERIENCE. This was the thing that kind of turned us off the place. We didn't realize that there is no staff on site after regular business hours. We took the elevator down to the basement level and came to a long deserted hallway of locked doors. We called the number and found out that we needed an entry code, which they gave us. We got in and had to figure out for ourselves which was the practice room. The keyboard was hard to find. We needed over-the-phone guidance. And we were under surveillance the whole time. It is probably a totally different vibe during business hours but this was just not comfortable or conducive to getting into a music mood. It was a basement with no people, no windows, no bathroom, and just felt really creepy and weird.

"Best Decision We Could Have Made"…read more Being an all vocal (a cappella) cover band focusing on R&B and Hip-Hop hits of the last 5 decades, we at Pitches Be Crazy (PBC) knew that producing our debut album would be a challenge. Our live shows incorporate technology and hardware that help to deliver a "full band" sound with only 5 vocalist. So as we approached how we wanted the album to sound, we wanted something that would give our fans that same feel of the live experience but in a professionally produced product. After recording all of the raw tracks in our in-house studio, we reached out to Blue Room Production (as recommended by a friend and local artist, Daniel "Yellow Tie Guy" Hill) to assist with the mixing and mastering of the album. From the beginning, Conrad (owner of Blue Room Productions) made us feel very comfortable, but more importantly, very confident that he and his team could meet our goals in producing this unique album. Additionally, the estimated costs were on target for our budget. We immediately signed up and began our journey to producing not just PBC's first album, but Blue Room Productions first project of this kind. Together, we would create something special. After an initial communication and "feeling out" period, we scheduled time with our assigned mix engineer, Devin Spears at the Virginia location of Blue Room Productions. The place is so comfortable that the most timid newbies to the studio world would feel welcome and encouraged to release ones inner "rockstar". Because of the uniqueness in our arrangements and overall sound, we began sitting in with Devin during mix sessions. Although we would guide the mixing process, it was Devin who recommended enhancements that really made the mix stellar. He took the time to listen and understand what we wanted the album to sound like. With very little guidance from us; Devin mixed everything quickly and accurately. After mixing the album, we spent a couple of hours with Conrad at Blue Room Production's Maryland location. A stark contrast from the Virginia location, Blue Room's studio in Maryland felt like you were on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. The space was just as comfortable as the Virginia location, but the vibe was so much more intense; as if we were about to embark on a mission to fight crime or something where in reality we were going to create the "dopest" R&B album ever! Throughout the mastering process, Conrad took the time to explain what he was doing. (This is not something that everyone wants to be a part, understands or even cares about, but I'm a tech guy so understanding the process and technique was welcome.) By the end of 2 hours, the debut album for PBC was complete and it far exceeds what we hoped for. Before partnering with Blue Room Productions, we toyed with the idea of mixing and mastering the album ourselves to try and save a few bucks but thankfully we came to our senses early and made the commitment to outsource these activities. We cannot begin to tell everyone that reads this that the money spent at Blue Room Productions is the smartest investment you can make for creating your produced music. Not only does Blue Room have access to a plethora of hardware and software to get your music sounding amazing, but also has a staff that are highly skilled and experienced and are second to none at what they do. Their awards for being some of the best in the business in the area is well deserved and saved us countless hours (and significant additional costs) had we tried to finish our album ourselves. Our journey with Blue Room Productions was one that we are very thankful for. With several other recording projects on the horizon, PBC looks forward to continuing our partnership with Blue Room Productions and are excited to bring more of our music to the world!

Conrad mastered my band's home recorded and mixed EP. He was very affordable ($100 for two songs)…read moreand did it in a very timely manner. He managed to add a solid low end to my mixes, all while removing mud and brightening up the tracks. He mastered them for streaming services, and although he got them very loud in level, he managed to not brick wall them, which was nice. I've also seen Ben work a few times with recording sessions. He has a great ear and can offer great artistic input, as well. He even asked if we wanted him to shut-up and just record and mix, which is a good trait if you bring in your own project producer who's calling the shots. I would definitely recommend and I am planning on having Conrad Master the second EP, whenever it gets finished! These guys do rock and metal the right way!

I started visiting ECD many years ago and eventually bought some snare drums and accessories…read more During my visits, I was able to play on a kit. You know how it is when a drummer visits a drum store--he has to try out some of the kits. David and his staff were always accommodating, courteous, understanding, and professional. In November 2025, I was preparing to make a drum video, but I had sold my kit several years earlier when my wife became ill and later passed away due to Alzheimer's. To prepare for the video, I rented one of David's drum rooms on and off for a week to practice. He set me up with an amplifier so I could play along with the arrangement I had chosen. Unfortunately, I had the wrong cable between my cell phone and the amplifier, but David went the extra mile to find the correct wires so I could keep practicing. I am 94; I've been around the block a few times, and David is one of the nicest people I've ever met-- a true gentleman in every aspect. It doesn't get any better than that.

As soon as I got into my session with Chaz all my insecurities melted away. Chaz was very knowledgeable, helpful and surprisingly he was very young.

So it had what I needed plus Chaz specialized in RnB Pop and hip-hop so we were on the same page. I had a great experience and can't wait to go back. This time I'm going to work with their session musicians to make a beat from the ground up, definitely raising the bar with these guys. I would mos def recommend.
