testimonials

"Just wanted to say thanks for lending your expertise! I purchased a drum kit in January 2008 with the intention of teaching myself to play. I soon learned I needed a guide to learn a solid foundation. After several failed attempts to secure a reliable and capable teacher, I was referred to your service. After one month of lessons my friends, family and neighbors have noticed the difference!"

Davy White – Student

"If you are looking for a high-quality result in a friendly atmosphere with talented engineers at an excellent
value point, then Rojo Sound is where you want to be. The equipment is top notch as well."

Bill Pontiac – Atlantic City Expressway, Jody Joseph, original Jon Bon Jovi band member.


jimmy r "Want great clarity of sound, great over-all production of your music?
Check out Rob McNamara's Rojo Sound Studio. I did and you'll love it.
"
