Had a bad experience? As far as practice rooms go I think Musical Vision is the best in Aberdeen just now for number of rooms, equipment and price.

Default What about Foyer Music?

There's always Foyer Music. Really good gear and very cheap, only £10 an hour. The room's not as big as Tom's or Musical Vision but it's really central, very supportive staff and really good gear.

I've only been to Musical Vision once but I was less than impressed to say the least. For a start the room had wooden flooring and hard plaster walls, which pretty much put paid to any plans we had of sounding good. The room was long and narrow so were all miles away from each other, the amps seemed to just be piled in the middle of the room and there were no seats. I've used Toms for years and though admittedly some of the equipment can be suspect at times (though if I've ever mentioned it they're usually happy to swap it), it's got the best sound, great staff, you can have a beer and he sells pickled onion space raiders

Room 4 is the best room there by miles. I've never had a bad sound in there. The only one I don't like is 2, and that's cos it's got a shit little toy drum kit that you can heardly hear.

Strange. Room 4 makes my head hurt, and that's not just from staring at the magnificent carpet.
