I manage events remotely from the West Coast, and I was in dire need for a last minute drumkit rental. To make matters tougher, the drummer for the event was traveling so I couldn't get the exact specs needed. Here's what the team did for me: 1. Helped me pick the PERFECT drum kit for our jazz set simply based on previous videos/pictures of my drummer's performances. 2. Accommodated an earlier pickup on the day of to help us do sound check in time. 3. Accommodated a later drop-off because of logistical issues on our end. 4. Lastly, despite being in need, they didn't scalp me. They worked with me, and offered a reasonable price. I work with a lot of studios + venues, and the professionalism and hospitality of this team is undeniably S-tier. If you're an event promoter, an artist, or a band manager, I can't offer a higher recommendation for Red Note. Special thanks to Will for ironing out our contract, Rose for handling logistics, and Joey for really looking out for his employees as well as graciously dealing with us.

When I would travel far from home, sometimes I would need to find a place where I could find a piano/keyboard practice to use. I checked out Yelp to see what studios were near me during a recent Brooklyn trip, and Red Note had excellent reviews (and more importantly availability on short notice). If you are looking for a music expert/audiophile review, you can skip this review now given my lack of technical knowledge. However, I can say that it was super easy to book a room by the hour, and the person checking me in once I arrived was friendly and helpful. The digital keyboard that I used worked well, and while it took me some time to figure out the audio setup, I ultimately had no trouble using the space on the two days I went. I would return to this studio without hesitation whenever I'm in Brooklyn or the NYC area.

P.S. it was a little hard to find bc on the outside it's just a door that says "Moon".

Lol Outside of that, the drinks were good...the bartenders were a tiny bit slow, but they were nice. I'm sure I'll be back, but maybe not for the free comedy show.

I saw when he was getting escorted out & he looked drunk, but him talking went on too long & the theater part is small. Everyone had to have heard him. Aside from that, it was a cool little spot.
