I like Oxford Street better for the pricing and the overall feel of the space but it's confusing to get into the building if someone doesn't see you come in and buzz you in right away. I was fine but I had a few students get confused and actually leave. Teenagers aren't always socially confident enough to ask for help if they can't figure something out. The other space is pretty straightforward you get off of the elevator and it's right there. Also the other space has a small waiting area, at Oxford you have to wait outside which isn't conducive to cold weather. I would be more inclined to use this space in the Spring semester. They also have a rear courtyard behind one of the studios that could be fun in Spring.

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.

The studio has an AWESOME collection of gear including vintage amps, sweet outboard gear, and to coolest rhodes electric piano! More importantly, engineer Reed Black is AMAZING!!

The Drums were not dogged and sounded great with Paiste cymbals and newer skins. The location is interesting but we parked right in front and felt safe. I would definitely go back next time. Everything added up including price, service, equipment and no bad experiences. This is one of the first times in a long time that we really had nothing negative to say about a rehearsal studio.

They have 3 rooms, all sound isolated and each with full kit, 2-3 nice guitar amps, bass amps, PA system, mics , stands cables, etc. A couple of the rooms have couches in the rooms and one has a decent Rhodes. $25-30hr. They don't charge extra for mics like other places. The guy Dan who is in charge of booking is super friendly and accommodating. Each room is bigger then the largest room at sweatshop for half the price. Not right next to the subway like sweatshop is but worth it for the extra size and value. About a 8min walk from the Grand stop of the L for those who don't have a car. I've always loved hanging out at the bar downstairs. Coolest strip club in nyc. Found out one night they have a rehearsal space upstairs. Didn't know what to expect, one of the girls took up and introduced me to Dan who showed me around. And now I have another reason to go there :) Pumps, you rule. pumpsstudios@gmail.com for booking if they don't answer the phone. He usually gets back to you quickly.

I've spent the past 3 years in a north Williamsburg rehearsal room that could easily be mistaken…read morefor a closet. Moving from that location to Savaria Studios 2.0 has been life-changing, if you allow me to get just a little hyperbolic. I'm a drummer. My kind needs space to practice. I had a 4.5" by 4.5" room in which to practice in my previous location. My drums - not even a full set - touched two of the walls and my seat touched the third. Now I have an 8" by 14" room I share with a friend. I can walk around my set, now with all my toms and cymbals mounted. That means I can also tune my drums. I'm a little bummed (sorry, Jeff) that I have to split the time in the spot instead of just having it all to myself 24/7, but that's the nature and the business of rehearsal rooms in NYC. I accept this. What's important is that I have space - essentially double the space but half the time - for only about $70 more than I was paying for my closet. Beyond the size and price, one of the draws to Savaria is the location in the old Pfizer building. It's hard not to feel like you're in on something. So many New Yorkers, so overwhelmed by each other and each other's access to every private space they claim, seek this uniqueness, this privacy, this frontier, in their quiet speakeasies and undisclosed location parties. Years from now the Pfizer building will be a different place. The neighborhood will develop around it. For now it feels good to know I'll be able to gloat in 5 to 10 years about the way things were here and how I was there when it happened. My only complaint about the space is sound leaking in through the walls and air vents. The bands on my left and right play so loud I can't even hear my own drums over them at times. This is partly because the space is constructed into an old office in the Finance Department of Pfizer Inc. It wasn't meant for anything louder than pencil pushing. The other reason is in the soundproofing, which seems to be merely carpet padding adhered to the walls. Tamas, the owner promised this would improved in time. I try to remind myself that Savaria, even in incarnation 2.0, is a startup, like the other tenants in the building. After being wiped out in Gowanus by Sandy last year, Tamas started all over again here. I imagine the experience here has been a bit life-changing for him as well. I recognize getting everything like the soundproofing in order may take some time. I'll be patient.
