Okay, I have been very poor in updating the site, but I am back.  I want to completely overhaul www.jrldrums.com with a new look, however, I have to learn the software first to design it.

RECORDING SESSIONS

I have been doing recording drum clinics for students at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Science in Gilbert, Arizona thanks to Joe Morris (drummer for Esteban).  The state of the art facility and staff are great and I highly recommend the campus for anyone thinking about a profession as an audio engineer.  Their staff writes many of the articles in Mix magazine where you can also see their ads.

 

I have also been working for a great jingle house in Phoenix, Arizona call Big U Music.  This is a very active studio for national and local jingle work.  Matt Cromwell & Sam Esparza are the best to work with.

 

Now the final phase, Mastering and Duplication.  I recorded a second jazz trio CD with “Outfits” (John Stowell-Guitar and Tommy Lockett-Bass).  The mixes are done and it sounds great.  The new CD on Heat Records  release date TBD.  Don’t forget our first self-titled CD “Outfits”.
