Hey,

My band reherses in Core studios every friday. Im a drummer. The drums dont bother me. With one exeption. The bass skin that used to be on the batter head in room 1. The coated white head...i hate coated white heads on bass. I think they sound shit. But anyway, its been replaced with a remo pinstripe. Which is beter. But apart from that, it takes me about 2 mins to get the drums sounding half decent. Strange tho, for some reason every time i come back to the drum kit someone ells has tuned it really shitly. Which either means, my taste in drum tuneing is crap or some rookie drummer is practicing tuneing on the kits.

in some rooms because of the arched roof the acoustics are a bit funny, but that cant be helped as it would be quite a large architectural job to make the roof flat. To much bother i would say for a practice room. I have never been in the recording rooms but they look good from the pictures on the site. They seem prety cheap too. I think they are about £80 for 6 hours...now that brilliant considering some places charge like £25 per hour and when u get to places like Sava, you could be paying up to £400 for a recording. £80 is a great price to get recorded at.

Keep up the good work core,

Cree,

Hey, I have to say the drums in the core are better than most other places I've been. All the nuts and bolts are there, there are felts for the cymbals and the skins are always in pretty good nick. I've always managed to get a really good sound from every kit I've used there. As an aside, if I don't need to go in and tune the kit I find that offensive to my desires.......!

Cheers,

Surl

I've got bookings over the next few weeks.

Core is only good depending on what room your in. I think it's room 4 (the first room you come to) that has terrible acoustics due to it's shape. All the other rooms are great though. I think it's room 3 (the one down the street) that i like best. You can get a lot more privacy out there but my mate feels the cold so she doesn't like it.

It's pretty much an all round good studio, especially compared with some of the dumps I've practiced in...............
