Different Drummer Studios is owned and operated by singer, songwriter, producer, audio engineer
J.J. McLeod - who has over 15 years experience using Pro Tools for music, broadcast production and audio post-production. Also at Different Drummer Studios is DLI Productions' Dan de la Isla, an award-winning songwriter, producer, and audio engineer specializing in music production, mixing and mastering.

We're next door to Satellite Video Productions, one of Southern California's premier video production facilities. The studio has a cool vibe that helps keep the creativity flowing. In addition to the large vocal booth, we have a great live room for recording drums, horns, or an entire band. We also feature live two-way voiceover recording with ISDN using Source Connect - and we're certified by DG Fastchannel for digital delivery of  TV and Radio commercials. No one likes to tell their client the spot didn't air because the audio doesn't pass quality control, so we use sophisticated software to ensure every commercial is delivered right the first time.
