Music Gear Discussion

Drummers, where do you practice? My set is in a friends basement right now, but shit can still be heard from the street and more importantly I can't play whenever I want. Back in San Diego I had a rehearsal studio but it was shared with two bands so the cost was low. However there isn't much for studios around here. Anyone tried a storage space?

I vaguely remember Myk making an epic post about setting up in mini-storages away from businesses (people).

The TNL Wiki 88MPH article chronicles the (mis)use of a storage space for band rehearsal and all of the fun that can be had in doing so.

I spent years in a storage space. Recorded an album in one once. Slept there for a few dark days.
You gotta find one that is in a business district, and then practice after hours. DO NOT tell the manager what you are up to.

I've spent years with Josh in storage spaces having band practice. Follow all of his advice.

Things you need: Space heater. Hang (stolen) carpet on the wall. Piss in a gallon jug.

Shit, you can hook a storage spot up nice with all the accouterments. The 88MPH spot in Crofton was fucking glorious. I feel so bad (not really) for the owners of that facility and the neighbors up the street.

The 88mph spot was pure luxury. We had couches, a mini fridge, AND a Super Nintendo.

Don't forget we also had a pretty awesome arcade cabinet that also housed a dreamcast. Project Justice, anyone?

[Josh]

I did manage to forget!

You and I rotating that monitor without discharging it first still ranks pretty high up there on the list of terrifying shit I've done.

I lived in our band warehouse for a year.

It was made into a straight up loft with every utility we could steal (all).

[Josh]

Today marks the day that I was able to remember, and play through a major scale with no hesitation.

I'm going to get it all back.

[Hubbitron]

You have 11 days.

[Josh]

There is a zero percent chance that I'll be playing that show. I'll email the guys now.

[Doc Holliday]

Does anyone know where I can get some underwater amps or speakers?

[Josh]

I'd answer this proper if I didn't think you were full of shit.

Here.
