These guys do not do every genre I had the money but they passed on me just due to my genre of music I do. Which is fair it is your business and you can do as you please, but it's not cool to single it out. Just my opinion. But that's why I gave one star.

At least do yourself a favor and tour the studio. Bart Rose is a master of his craft; and if you're recording (especially live drums) YOU GO TO BART'S STUDIO. His standard is perfection.
