The Recording Space
Known for producing an amazing live drum sound, our recording room, the Foundry, was designed by Australian pioneer of acoustic engineering, Graham Thirkell.
The 40 square metres of recording space, is home to a Yamaha C5 Grand piano, a 1960s Ludwig ‘Downbeat’ drum kit and a fine selection of vintage and modern microphones. Featuring a mix of wood panelling and an iconic carpeted wall to produce a perfectly balanced sound, this spacious recording room is prepared for all needs.
