THE WINDMILL STUDIO
The studio was built in the remains of an old Norfolk post mill that was decommissioned in1900. The wooden structure has sadly long gone. Before work commenced all that remained were the four buttresses that would have supported the main wooden Windmill. The studio was built from the remains of this fantastic building.
"Ash is one of my favorite drummers. His timing and feel are impeccable. His drums always sound great which I believe is in part because he often records them at his own studio. Great work Ash!!"
Michael Brauer
The studio has an ongoing working relationship with NEVE, Universal Audio, Beyer Dynamic, Sontronics, Heritage Audio and Avid/Pro Tools.
The Windmill Studio was completed in December 2012 and over the last few years Ash has done a significant amount of remote sessions for artists and clients including: Taylor Swift, Cher, Alicia Keys, Rod Stewart, Seal, Hans Zimmer & Lorne Balfe.
