 Real Estate

Traps Drums A400 drumkitA brand-new Traps drum kit (with extra hardware to support a third cymbal) now graces Studio 4. And speaking of cymbals, we'll have a slew of shiny new Zildjians in shortly. We've done some keyboard maintainance, fixing a balky pitch wheel on our Alesis QS8 and killing a buzz in our Korg SG1-D). Before the end of the month we'll "tune" studios 3 and 4 with an array of products from Auralex. This week and next we'll be deploying fresh Evans Drumheads, and lots of cool accessories from Planet Waves. And maybe, if you've been good little boys and girls, you'll have some new amps to play with before the new year.

 Extended Forecast

Elena BelanFor a truly rockin' New Year's Eve, come to the Jam. Our $30 BYOB fest includes everything you'll need: An invite to get you past the checkpoints, roof access with a view of Times Square, good company, snacks, ice & cups, and open studios. Celebrate the start of another trip around the Sun by making a little music, and taking in the sights and sounds of traditional mayhem from a safe distance - all while feeling vastly superior to the masses below.
