Danny Carey and Nicko McBrain are two of the most searched drummers on my channel right now, and both sat behind legendary kits at the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame museum.

When I design a recording studio, the room comes first. Isolation, treatment and the way the space sounds shape a record more than any single piece of gear. Gear can be upgraded later. The room is much harder to fix.

The best home theaters I have built have one thing in common: the owner uses them every night.

That comes down to simple control, a room that sounds right at normal volume, and seats people actually want to sit in.

In your house, what would you upgrade first: picture, sound, seating, or the remote?
