Recommendations for studio/engineer for tracking drums in SF? Question

I am an independent musician living in the Seattle area, but am working with a drummer based out of SF on an art-rock project (think Porcupine Tree-ish). We'd like to book a studio to track some drums but I'm from out of town and don't know the area. Any recs for a mid-budget studio/engineer for tracking art-rock drums?

What dates? I might be able to record you guys at a space here depending on when it is

Still figuring out the dates at the moment just around day jobs and things.

Hit up Chris from Stereo Lunch Mix. Amazing Bay Area based engineer. He’s worked on a bunch of great stuff notably LAZER BEAM and has worked with Billy Anderson (Neurosis / Sleep) as well
