The Grip II is owned by Rascal Flatts co-founder and bassist Jay DeMarcus and designed by celebrated studio designer and monitoring expert Carl Tatz. After selling the home that housed the original Grip studio, DeMarcus reached out to Tatz again in 2008 and had him spec out and design The Grip II in his new home. Since then, he and his team have recorded multi-platinum-selling records, countless number-one hits, and ACM, CMA, Dove, and GRAMMY® award-winning records at The Grip II.
