Any teacher is never more proud than when they hear a student is prepared to take the next step and record for the first time, and at Drum Lessons Birmingham we will always encourage enthusiasm and creativity in this aspect. Recording your own music is special in many ways but can be an intimidating or daunting process - especially when it comes to looking for the right studio for you. Drum Lessons Birmingham has selected 3 of what we believe to be Birmingham's best for you to try out.
The Oxygen Rooms are based in Birmingham and were established in 2009. They offer multi-track recording and mixing/mastering services as well as rehearsal rooms at some very competitive prices - a lifeline for Drummers who like to blow the roof off at home and drive their parents up the wall. Off-Peak(12 pm noon to 5 pm) rehearsal rooms are priced at £8 per hour or at a discounted rate of £5/hr for 5 hours at a time; which are some of the most reasonable rates to be found in Birmingham for quality private rehearsal rooms.
Unsurprisingly recording studios aren't as cheap and rates are frozen at £30/hr or £200/8hr sessions. The Studio is flexible and is capable of hosting a wide range of projects whether that be solo artists or large groups. There are spaces with natural light sources for bands to chill out for a bit and get away from it all as the standard recording studio can be quite an intimidating dark stuffy and cramped premises - but not The Oxygen Rooms in Birmingham. They cater for all music genres here and have housed bands such as The Vamps and Jamelia, so give them a shot.

The Studios also offer mixing, editing and post-production sound engineering as well as professional mastering to ensure your work not only meets your standards but their high standards as well.
