Step inside the studio with two of modern rock’s most respected minds in drum production. Recording engineer Unnus Latif (Twenty One Pilots, Still Remains, Hollow Front) and producer Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, We Came As Romans, Attack Attack!) are teaming up with Vaughan Music Studios to deliver a 3-day, hands-on drum engineering workshop in Columbus, Ohio.
