This kit sounds as good as it looks 😍 drum tracking with @toro.official
Still can’t quite wrap my head around how cool this is, but I am SO stoked to be working with @toro.official on their debut album for @nuclearblastusa over the next month. These guys have flown over from the US of A 🤯 #Repost @toro.official ・・・ On our way to London to record our first full length at @ranchproductions. We’ve put everything into these songs and cannot wait to finally bring them to life. More soon!
Awesome day yesterday with the absolute drum monster that is @eddythrower 17 tracks including setup all in one day! 👏👏👏👏👏 Go watch him smash it with Busted on tour this month 🤘
Very busy few weeks working on some incredible music with some of my favourite artists. Here’s my floating head measuring mic distances. #content
Lovely ole workhorse console/mouse mat.
My good friend Matt is the best around for all your guitar setup and luthier needs. Can’t wait to use this on some records this year! #Repost @zereyno ・・・ My pal @lewjohns bought this 1979 Peavey T-40 for a very good price a few months ago - it needed a bit of work; firstly a refret, then the fingerboard stained and refinished to match the colour of the existing finish - the old finish was extremely ‘chippy’ and couldn’t be saved, sadly. Then a good ol’ fashioned dollop of TLC. I’m pleased to get this back to him ready to start its new life making seductive bass tones on your (and the rock press’) favourite heavy records!
Nice to have old friends back in the studio today. @dan.northwelding and @sonewyetfading and myself have played in various bands together and recorded at @ranchproductions over the last 10 years or so. Today Dan wrote and recorded 3 drum tracks, and was done all by 3pm after not drumming for 2 years! All in a days work for this bloody machine!
Having a great time working with @damncargo and forgot how rad this Fender Bassman is 😍
Day 4 @renouncedhc 📷 @danielwaverleygray
First session of the new year and @renouncedhc are in recording LP3. Using my new @gretschdrums Bell Brass and there’s plenty of room so I squeezed a 57 and 414 in front of it. Sounds righteous (and very very loud!)
Hello friends! The studio is looking very very busy already for 2019 and I’m booking from around late March/April onwards for bigger sessions. I can however squeeze in some mixing or smaller production projects beforehand. For enquires email info@lewisjohns.co.uk 🤘🤘🤘 Selected photos by @craigtaylorbroad
Hope everyone had a great xmas. Here’s 3 excellent dog friends enjoying some time off 📷 @kbizzzles
Hello friends. I've had a bit of a reflective day today and thought, holy shieet I have worked with some bloody fantastic artists this year, so I decided to make a playlist with 10 of my favourite songs I got to work on that were released in 2018 (link in bio). Endless thank you's to everyone that has trusted me to record, mix or produce your records and heres to more creativity in 2019!
Love this little Frankenstein setup sometimes and this particular little number has made it onto a few records this year. Tightness from the @yamahadrumsofficial beech custom kick mixed with the BOOM from the @qdrumco copper toms 🔥

Taken just after one of my hilarious jokes no doubt. Having a great time with @tbtvband Only three days in and we’ve tracked drums for 10 songs, edited them and tracked bass 😱
New pre, new me? Taking these Neve 4081 pre-amps for a spin on @tbtvband drum tracks. Sounding very nice so far!
