I started visiting ECD many years ago and eventually bought some snare drums and accessories…read more During my visits, I was able to play on a kit. You know how it is when a drummer visits a drum store--he has to try out some of the kits. David and his staff were always accommodating, courteous, understanding, and professional. In November 2025, I was preparing to make a drum video, but I had sold my kit several years earlier when my wife became ill and later passed away due to Alzheimer's. To prepare for the video, I rented one of David's drum rooms on and off for a week to practice. He set me up with an amplifier so I could play along with the arrangement I had chosen. Unfortunately, I had the wrong cable between my cell phone and the amplifier, but David went the extra mile to find the correct wires so I could keep practicing. I am 94; I've been around the block a few times, and David is one of the nicest people I've ever met-- a true gentleman in every aspect. It doesn't get any better than that.

I thought this would be a great idea for a gift for a friend. I emailed the company and asked them…read moreif it was possible to purchase a gift card and they responded that it would not be a problem. There were no special instructions in the email on how to purchase a gift card or any guidance and I thought nothing of it. I called the number on their website on monday around two pm to make sure that they were open. There was no answer, but I figured they were busy, so I headed to the address that is posted on their website to buy the gift card. I got to the building and there was assigned parking for all of the other businesses around, but them. I ended up having to park on the street. I walked into this old run down school building and was very scared for my safety. The building was disgusting, smelled like urine, and was full of classrooms. I finally found the tiny door -leading to god knows what, that had a cheap sign that said district entertainment. It looked like a joke, nothing like a professional business, but more so like it was a grade school project. I tried to open the door and it was locked... There was no one in this sad little building for me to ask what the deal was with district entertainment. I tried calling again with no answer so I left with no gift card. I went home and emailed the company and they emailed me back and told me in this second email that I can simply purchase a gift card online through PayPal and they were very confused as to how I found out their location. I was very upset that this information was not conveyed to me in the first email when i could have saved so much time and gas. I was offered a discount and given an apology but after seeing what a beat up, run down, rickety building this is located in, I wouldn't have my friend try to record his music there if they let him do it for free. I can't imagine how anyone can have a great recording session with tons of students populating the building. The decision is yours, but I would recommend finding a different venue with customer service reps who are competent and value your time.

Don Zientara was the perfect choice, recorded 7 songs for us that day with a full rock band, then let us work with him on the mixing of our recording. So much better, more fun, and interesting, than my experiences with other studios. In short, Don is a great artist who will help you achieve your dreams. A longtime alt-rocker told me every musician should have the experience of working with Don in their lifetime. So see if you can book some time with him before October 2021, when he will have to move his studio.
