Scheiner\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn icon of the recording industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElliot Scheiner started his career in the late 1960s at the famed A \u0026amp; R Recording studios in New York City as the assistant under legendary engineer Phil Ramone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe quickly advanced and started heading up productions on his own, though, with Van Morrison's \"Moondance\" as his first major record hit followed by a Grammy Award-win for Steely Dan's now-iconic album \"Aja\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter that, he’s not only worked back to back with major label artists in all imaginable genres, but he’s also excelled in the world of feature films, documentaries as well as live and surround sound mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, he's got 91 platinum and 14 gold-certified records, 25 Grammy Award nominations (winning eight), four Emmy nominations (winning two) and three TEC Awards nominations to back it up (just to mention some of his many accolades).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout The Studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA creative haven in Upstate New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 150 miles upstream from the hustle and bustle of New York City, wedged in between green pastures, narrow roads and the Hudson River, the Clubhouse studio has been an off-the-grid creative haven for engineers, producers and artists of all genres ever since it first opened its doors back in the mid 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the rural facade of this place hides a state-of-the-art studio which is the culmination of 30+ years of dedicated work towards achieving the best in everything from acoustics to mics, gear and - most importantly - feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOr, as Elliot explained it, why bands and producers took productions here was because they could focus on what mattered: the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 150 miles upstream from the hustle and bustle of New York City, wedged in between green pastures, narrow roads and the Hudson River, the Clubhouse studio has been an off-the-grid creative haven for engineers, producers and artists of all genres ever since it first opened its doors back in the mid 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Rooms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo cover kit timbres tailored for each specific era or sound, all three rooms at The Clubhouse were recorded for this

the raw materials of this SDX truly are state-of-the-art in every respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all, it presents an amazingly broad palette of tones and timbres for use across all imaginable genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Craftsman Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted using the same traditional method of steam bending drum shells that gave the iconic sound of some of the most celebrated wood-shelled snare drums of the 20th century, this kit sounds both vintage and modern, all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProviding a slightly longer note and higher fundamental than the more common maple material, the single-ply ash construction of this kit, paired with single-ply coated heads, made it an obvious to record in the Live Room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Firebird Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to the Craftsman kit, this one has an 11-ply construction of three different woods (plus an additional outer veneer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat and the fact that each individual drum has its own bearing edge individually optimized for tone and projection makes this kit a masterpiece of contemporary drum-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt simply sounds sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Teardrop Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReimagining the golden ages of drum-making of the 50s, 60s and 70s but with a modern-day stability and reliability, this kit utilizes the classic none-ply beech undersized and cross-laminated shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with the single-ply coated heads, these shells have that classic, warm and vintage tones that are so highly desired in the modern recording environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Artisan Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smaller, high-tuned version of the Craftsman Kit that really sings in any jazz, classic soul or hip-hop setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgain, the skill, effort and meticulousness invested in handcrafting these drums really shines through in how they sound; genuinely inviting and simply acoustically beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Burgundy Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowerful, warm and deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit works in any rock or pop setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Midnight Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tribute to the classic dry, tight and controlled sounds that underpinned the jazz and fusion-tinged pop of the 1970s and 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, this kit was heavily inspired by Elliot's work on the iconic \"Aja\" album by Steely Dan, a record known for its magnificent drum tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Moonlight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the critically acclaimed Van Morrison album engineered by Elliot at A\u0026amp;R Studios in the late 1960s, this kit was captured with a different microphone setup consistent with the techniques used at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe results speak for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Combo Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft and laid-back!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis alternative setup is perfectly suited to
