Plenty of room for my 4 piece to rock. I only needed my sticks since they had all the cymbals there. Everything worked. Line 6, Marshall were great. Skins must have been changed cause they were new too. Our singer brought her own mic which plugged into the pa so we had 3. This place was great. As soon as we get off tour I am renting a monthly here.
I’ve only used the Long Island City location, but they also have rooms in downtown Brooklyn. For some, these neighbourhoods may be a little out of the way, but that has it’s advantages (i.e. not as much noise competition, etc.) Oh – and the bathroom was super clean!
I have been playing the drums for years and was at another rehearsal studio until recently. Empire Rehearsal Studios (now BQE Studios) has been good to me. They were building new rooms and they built a custom size room just for me. I’m happy. I pay much less than I did before and have a great room with 24/7 access.
Empire in Queens is a great spot. I’ve been renting a monthly space over three years. The staff is awesome, fair, and doesn’t take people’s bs. They run a tight ship and the result is a well-run, clean facility, staffed from 8am-midnight with folks who are always very helpful. Couldn’t be happier.
This place is a LIFE SAVER! Lost my studio in a flood and they welcomed me in with open arms. Incredible staff, clean building, easy access with multiple elevators including a huge freight elevator. I also rent a storage space downstairs which makes it easy to keep my cases and random gear out of my workspace. Building new rooms on the 4th floor. I checked out a lot of spaces after I lost my studio, ALL of them were overpriced, tiny and/or gross. This is by far the best renting experience I’ve ever had.
I’ve had the opportunity to engage with BQE Studios. They truly go above and beyond in every aspect of their work. Their commitment to delivering outstanding results is evident from the moment you start working with them. Throughout the process, their team’s professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to exceeding expectations were consistently impressive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking for excellence and reliability.
I’ve been renting a studio space for over 8 years now,….. yes 8 years… I couldn’t ask for a better place to have my recording studio. location location location… very important when you’re dealing with a client base that comes from every borough. The train is 2 blocks away, the highway and 59th street bridge is 2 blocks away as well as the midtown tunnel. you have indoor parking which is a major convenience for those that drive. There is great internet through out the whole building which helps me a lot when I have to upload projects and send out big files.
