I'm a drummer from Toronto, Canada desperate to find a place to rehearse here in Paris, France. I found Studio HSB on the web and went down to check it out because it was in my neighbourhood. It wasn't easy to find at first because there was only a small hand written sign on the door leading to the courtyard and because it was before 10am and no-one was there yet so I waited. Once inside, I was very impressed with the setup and the equipment available. The tech, who spoke nominal English - but enough to get by, was able to set me up with sticks and better headphones then my iPhone headphones and told me I could play longer than an hour if I wanted to. He ended up selling me the used sticks I played with for a good price, which saved me a trip to music store and I was relieved to have let off some steam. The drum room had amps and a PA set up for a jam and the kit was a sweet little jazz setup. I will be going back several times while i'm here and I highly recommend searching it out if you're visiting! ***** read more
