About Me

Pimp-My-Profile

Hello

Formerly known as 'Big Shed' studios, Dragonfly is located in Southern Worcestershire - specifically on the outskirts of Ashton Under Hill in the Vale of Evesham.
Currently the studio has two rehearsal rooms, with attatched recording facilities; consisting of a control room and a drum/vocal booth. The control room features a full 24 track digital recording set-up, utilising the latest versions of Logic or Nuendo as well as a host of outboard peripherals and effects units.
Services: Rehearsals with use of full Mackie PA and Sure microphones charged at £7 an hour.
Extra equipment such as drum kits and guitar amps are also available - don't hesitate to get in touch for comprehensive details.
Reduced rate of £6 for block bookings rehearsals before 6PM, and our existing customers (who have been with us before the extension is built).
Recording with in-house engineer (many years of recording experience), with varying prices.
Self-record service charged at £10 an hour. This is exclusive to Dragonfly and includes use of all the studio's recording equipment - ideal if you have some recording experience or are studying in the field.
Drum tuition taught by myself. I specialise in Rock/Metal drumming, although teach a variety of styles. I can also prepare students for the Rock School grades, as examined in the nearby towns of Cheltenham and Worcester.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/11/2006
Band Website: dragonflymusicstudios.com
Band Members: Simon Spiers - owner/manager of Dragonfly Studios.
I recently graduated with a BA honours (2:1) in Professional Musicianship for the past two years at Brighton Institute of Modern Music (BIMM), specialising in drums. I've also studied for a National Diploma in Music Technology, where the idea of the studio first entered my head... now is the time for fruition (finally)
I've been playing drums since the age of 13 (I'm now 21... how time flies...), being greatly influenced by Metal in all its guises. See 'influences' for a range of bands that I think rule.
Please check out Archives Of Pain, a band I'm currently playing drums in!!
Peace
