In short, you'd be hard pressed to find a better place to practice in all of NYC. Been coming to Looming for the past couple of years now with various bands. If you're looking for affordable, it's $15 an hr, find me a better rate anywhere. If you're looking for convenience, this is the only practice studio I've ever been to where there's any kind of selection of guitars and basses available to you without any additional cost, not to mention unlike many studios, they actually have cymbals and a snare on each drum kit. That's can be a big deal if you're a drummer. This is on top of alternate amps, spare cables, other percussion instruments, etc. that are at your disposal should you want them. Always (seriously, always) got the coffee on, mountains of earplugs at no extra charge, A/C and fan in the rooms, a ton of interesting items adorning the walls from Keith's many travels... Which brings me to the owner, Keith, who doesn't make it his job to simply book bands and keep the gear functional so much as he makes it his job to make the musicians feel welcome and to keep them happy. Keith alone is enough reason to come down to Looming, he's as good a guy as they come. Always super chill, always glad to help out if you need assistance, and he's got his share of stories, besides. Basically, this is the place you're looking for. read more
