Has anyone got suggestions for somewhere to practice in east/south east London? Probably just for an hour or two a week. I use Pirate studios for full band practices but it gets expensive if you're on your own and the house kits are pretty bad!

Hi there are drumming studios in Haggerston where I’m based that you can hire to practice and even some in my building that give lessons

Sorry, late reply but - Banana Studios, Erith? I've not actually been there but a mate of mine who's learning drums uses it. Only criticism he's mentioned is the kit having awful cymbals!

I Live opposite The Music Room in New X - great rooms (it's an old library), kits aren't bad ...

there is a studio in Brockley (brockley studios) that I use, room hire with backline on a weeknight is very reasonable.
https://brockleystudios.co.uk/The place is a terraced house. Mental soundproofing. Neighbours don't even know.

I got rid of furniture to fit mine in. No regrets. Who needs chairs and tables and family members when you could be making a horrible racket instead?
Funny thing is that I don't really like how compact the Alesis is, and I feel like I want one of those Roland VAD kits instead. OTOH I'm new enough at this that any decision I make at this point will be a rash one so I'm just going to sit with these covetous feelings for a while and see how they develop.
I wouldn't dare to put an acoustic set in this flat, I'm paranoid enough about the e-kit. Neighbours haven't complained yet so it can't be too bad. Or maybe it is, and they're keeping a noise nuisance log that they plan to spring on me unexpectedly! Who knows!
