Twenty One Pilots’ Josh Dun Builds His Dream Studio, Part 2

Drums rule inside the Boom Boom Room, the new home facility of Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun and his wife, voice artist Debby Ryan.

By: Steve Harvey

Ever since its 2015 breakthrough album Blurryface, Twenty One Pilots has been flying high with a string of platinum-selling albums and worldwide arena tours. There’s no knowing when the creative urge will strike, however, so both drummer Josh Dun and lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Tyler Joseph have home studios. Don’t pass up Part 1, which explores how Dun worked with Charlie Griffey of Griffey Remodeling, Josh Dun, TJ Bechill of NEAT Audio, and Gavin Haverstick of Haverstick Designs to create his ideal home facility, The Boom Boom Room; now let’s dive into how he puts the studio to good use.

SETTING UP TO RECORD

“Tyler and Josh don’t work with engineers; they work by themselves,” Bechill observes, noting that during his technical design process, he likes to understand an artist’s workflow and what tools they need. “I always build around the concept of the artist being able to walk into a room and ‘put pen to paper’ as quickly as possible.”

Bechill quizzed Dun about the favorite drum tones he had recorded in his favorite rooms before deciding what gear to load into the control room’s Dangerfox desk. “A lot of them featured vintage Neve consoles,” he recalls. “Josh has API and Audient pre’s in his studio in California, and he said, ‘I want transparency, but I also love the vintage vibe of a Neve console and the glue that you get from the transformers.’”

The desk’s lefthand bay houses two Rupert Neve Designs 500 Series racks holding 14 of the manufacturer’s 511 mic pre modules, with variable Silk control. “The Coles 4038 overhead mics go into a pair of 517 preamps, into 1176s and then into the converters,” he adds.

Mike Picotte, senior sales engineer, artist relations at Sweetwater, also consulted on gear choices, then tuned the control room with Smaart and optimized the DSP on the room’s PMC 6-2 main monitors. “PMC checked all the boxes and has been an incredible system,” Bechill says. “We don’t really mix in there, but we wanted an accurate reference. You can do multiple EQ settings, so we created two zones—one for the mix position and a second for the couch, if friends come in to listen to music.”

Picotte also dialed in the drum sounds. “After 15 minutes, Mike leans back and says, ‘Well, there you go,’” Bechill recalls. “There’s no processing on the tracks; it’s just a great room, great microphones, and solid preamps and conversion, so we saved it as a template. We’ve got a Furman sequencer, so now Josh walks in, turns one key and the whole studio turns on. Within seconds, he can press Record and sit down and play.”

Sweetwater sales engineer Patrick Cobley supplied much of the equipment and, with NEAT sales engineer John Krempel, helped assemble the control room during the two-day installation. Ryan’s brother, Chase, who works on the video side, designed the audio patchbay. “I love having a normalized patchbay where I don’t have to use cables if I don’t need to,” Bechill comments.

Speaking of patching, Bechill installed a dedicated Rupert Neve Designs Shelford Channel for Ryan’s voice work so that she didn’t have to disturb Dun’s signal flow. “She’s an absolute professional, but I wanted a channel strip so we could give her dynamic control in case she got too animated or too close to the mic. I really like the FET-style compressor in the Shelford, and I’ve always loved 1073-esque tones.”

Haverstick included a small vocal booth in the studio layout, which doubles as an amp closet for visiting guitarists, but Ryan can also take a shotgun or a lav mic into the live room: “She can do ADR in that room if her producers don’t want a completely sterile vocal booth environment.”

TRACKING DRUMS

The tracking space, a room-within-a-room design, looks out onto the woods surrounding the house and features a floating floor. Although Dun has tracked in big rooms like EastWest in Hollywood, Haverstick says, “He wanted a controlled but not too dead-sounding live room, because Twenty One Pilots do get more of a controlled sound on their drums.”

And what about those drums? Dun wanted something special for his home studio setup, so Mike Ciprari, owner of SJC Custom Drums, his longtime supplier, ran with Dun’s treehouse concept (he proposed to Ryan in a treehouse in New Zealand). The all-wood kit, with moss and leafy accents, uniquely features a completely wooden front head on the kick drum. “No joke, it actually sounds pretty solid; I was shocked,” Bechill laughs.

Bechill’s idea was to mike the drums using just two or three stands, making the most of the design flexibility and weight capacity of Triad-Orbit’s products. An Audix D6 and a Solomon Mics LoFReQ hang off one stand, he reports, with multiple Sennheiser MD 421 tom mics hanging off another. “If you were to try to do that with any other stand, it would just tip over,” he comments. “I spent $1,500 on three mic stands, but we had committed so heavily to an aesthetic that I wanted them.” The Coles overhead mics are supported by two ceiling-mounted boom arms.

During construction, after Dun mused about what his drums might sound like in the 20-foot-high sunroom, Bechill had Griffey install a four-inch conduit so that he could run a Whirlwind 24-channel snake to a stagebox upstairs. “John [Kremple] did all the wiring with me, and it took us four hours just to get the W2 mass connect from the second floor down to the studio. I don’t know if Josh will ever actually track up there, and, if he does, if it’ll ever be used—but for some reason, in the moment, it felt like the most important thing,” he chuckles. “After that, everything else was easy.”

It seems likely that Twenty One Pilots fans will hear the results of all that hard work soon enough. Previously, while Joseph could work in his own studios, Dun had to go to a commercial room to track his drums. Now, Bechill says, “Between this studio and Tyler’s two studios, we can track and mix in these rooms—although I believe they’ll still send their sessions out to be mixed—because we have the proper environments.”

Mixing with a 76

I recently recorded a live band session at Studio One. It was a five-piece band having vocals, two acoustic guitars, bass & drums. The recording was a good session and I used the Audix drum mic set to record the drum kit. The kit was a Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz 18".

I tried mixing the kick and snare with analog gear using Studio Two. I first wanted to compress my kick to make the level of the recorded signal balanced and even as there were few loud transients. I ran the kick through the Klark Teknik 76 compressor which is a clone of the 1176 FET comp. It did a nice job of making the signal balanced and giving a slight distortion in its tone.

The green track shows the signal of the kick drum after compression by the Klark 76.

I tried the same with the snare this time and I tried pushing all four ratio buttons on the unit to see what happens. This gave an incredibly fast attack and release on the snare which I could observe on the VU meter. Apparently according to an article by Sweetwater, an unknown engineer discovered that pressing down all four ratio knobs gives you a slightly overdriven tone and it says that the ratio falls in between 12:1 to 20:1 and the bias points change in the circuit thus changing the attack and release time.

I’m stoked to have a new compressor in the rack… 2 whole years in the making, literally. I had this Goly MS76 compressor kit 98% built shortly after receiving it… but a couple missing parts from Europe, a few components with wrong values and some other unforeseen headaches made it a difficult and slow going build. The last bit to troubleshoot was oscillation which would happen at the highest output gain settings. Luckily @cuebus came to my rescue and did a thoughtful mod by adding two capacitors in key spots to tame the oscillation. Full clean gain now! 🙌🏼 This compressor is modeled after the classic Urei 1176, rev G FET compressor circuit. It’s a transformerless design but somehow still retains a lot of attitude. Transistors for the win! It can but used to compress in M/S (mid-side) and also has a wet/dry function. Super useful features! I can’t wait to use this on future mixes at @piquerecording ✌🏼 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CooXbKgu75L/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Uad plugins dsp chart

Of course, a hallmark feature of Apollo is its Realtime UAD Processing, letting you run the full library of UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency. A Full Suite of Classic Analog Processing Onboard This lets you run more UAD plug-ins, whether you’re tracking in real time with channel strips from Neve, Manley, or API, or running high UAD plug-in counts when mixing in your DAW.įrom the tube warmth of Pultec EQs on guitars to the musical tube limiting of the LA-2A on vocals, or the pump of a genuine 1176 or Fairchild 670 tube compressor on drums, your recordings will take a giant leap forward with a rich, three-dimensional analog sound that UAD plug‑ins provide. Realtime UAD HEXA Core ProcessingĪpollo x16 features new HEXA Core processing, with six DSP chips and 50% more UAD plug-in processing power than previous Apollos. With 133 dB dynamic range and THD+N of -129 dB, the Apollo x16’s open, natural sound quality bests every interface in its class - regardless of price - and is the perfect starting point for applying UAD processing. This translates into pure, artifact-free recordings and solid stereo imaging you can trust. The Apollo X series also introduces new Dual-Crystal clocking - featuring dedicated crystals for 44.1/88.2/176.4k and 48/96/192k sample rates - resulting in stunningly low jitter, measured at less than 10 picoseconds. To improve on the previous generation Apollo interface’s class-leading audio conversion, UA engineers obsessively auditioned the latest A/D and D/A converters - ultimately pairing elite-class 24-bit/192 kHz converters with all-new analog circuitry for an ultra-pristine signal path.

With thousands of chart-topping songs and hundreds of Grammy-winning albums under their belt, Apollo interfaces are no strangers to tracking stellar-sounding records.

Integrate with high-end commercial systems, via 7.1 surround sound monitoring with speaker calibration and fold‑down.

Easily connect to professional studio gear with 16 x 16 analog I/O via DB-25 connections, plus switchable +24 dBu headroom settings.

I have been dreaming about Thom's "Reckoner" tone for years, and while the 64 SG is out of my price range, I keep thinking about that Compressor. Do you know if anything's going on with Telenordia? The website hasn't been taking orders for years.

Unfortunately we haven't been able to contact them either. I'm sure you know, but for those who don't: "Telenordia" was the original company, but when it closed the original designer started building the same pedals as "Tortenmann" (effectsdatabase).

However, we do cover the replicating sound of Thom's vintage SG in this post:

And we cover replicating the compressor sound of In Rainbows at length in this post:

But short answer: for In Rainbows cleans, you just need a 24-3/4" scale guitar with PAF-style pickups, an 1176-style compressor, and a Vox with a Normal channel and Blue speakers. Instead of the Telenordia, maybe check out the MXR M76 Studio Compressor. Or perhaps the Origin Effects Cali76 that Ed and Jonny have used recently.
