Each practice room includes PA, backline, vocal mics and drum shells \ hardware. Drummers are asked to bring their own breakables (snare, cymbals and bass drum pedal), though breakables can be hired for an additional fee.
What makes them writing rooms? “All practice rooms are! I wanted to highlight that many bands write, jam and develop songs in practice rooms. They’re not just for bands that have got it all together. They’re also places for musicians who’ve never played in a band before and are starting from scratch.” –Chris
