I have worked in every room at Euphoria since the 80's I think. Having moved away from NYC 8 years ago, I had no chance to rehearse there again. But I clearly remember that the best gear, cleanest rooms, nicest staff and best SOUNDING rooms live there. So I was pretty psyched when I was asked to participate in a rather special band hit with some NYC top cats. And of course, they ONLY rehearse at Euphoria...so that is where we found ourselves a few days ago. It was fantastic to see David again; great human...and he knows the deal. Also a drummer and photographer. The walls are lined with his portraits of about every great player in NYC over the last decades. You name it, they work there. And so it was also great to again realize that there is just no other place on the level of this studio. Anywhere in NYC...period. The gear was top of the line - in fact beyond tops...and in perfect shape. I left NYC the following day - and already I am missing having access to this great set of rooms. Go anywhere else and be let down. It is the best of the best. Consistent - and never better. read more

Euphoria rehearsal studio continues to be the best rehearsal space in NYC. Easily the best Drums by a MILE!!! I've been working at Euphoria for 25 years with many major artists. Euphoria is always a first class experience. Thank You David S. Brian Dunne read more

This place is a hidden gem! We were lucky enough to discover this because Smash studios was booked. Staff is top notch and the rooms are fantastic. We will be back! read more

Customer service is top on my list when utilizing any business. Euphoria studios and the staff made my recording experience a great one every time I was there. I have been to many studios be it working with a jingle client or a personal project. Euphoria never disappoints. If you're looking for a great space with friendly professional staff Euphoria is the place for you. read more

I was very much looking forward to rehearsing my band at this great convenient location that I had heard so much about. Luminaries like John Scofield, Nile Rogers and a host of my favorites use this place. It's clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. So why the bad review? The technician didn't record the session correctly. Gave me back a corrupted 1.7GB file that didn't open on my system, wouldn't play back, etc. I returned the next day to see if perhaps they could salvage the file. No luck. It was such an amateur mistake. I love was told my flash drive was Probably defective. Yet the drive works with other files and on every other system I tried it on. So I have 1.7GB of useless data and an apology. I wonder how they would have handled it had this happened to Chic or any of their other big name clients. A big fat disappointment. No one was expecting a finished recording. Merely what was promised a stereo wav file of the rehearsal. Didn't happen. read more

The best of the best, state of the art gear meticulously maintained. Being a drummer, it's great to walk into a rehearsal where there's top of the line drums and cymbals in every room, in 'new' condition, the heads changed regularly, and they are tuned as well as any kit you will play anywhere. Dave Sokol, the owner (and a great guy), takes a personal interest to make sure everyone's session goes off without a hitch. read more

Truly outstanding is the punch line. Devil is in the details and David makes sure they are all addressed. Rooms are outstanding, gear is beautifully maintained. Gustavo is the best of the best as head engineer. This is the only place in town if you're serious about music read more

I love this studio. Ive been here many times and every time the service is always great. The studios have great sound, great equipment, they record for you if you need it and really care about soundchecks and making sure you have everything you need for your session and feel comfortable. If you need something during your session someone is always available to help. They are a studio thats been around for a long time, and based off all the autographs on the walls from local NY musicians and out of towners who are famous, Id guess their rep is pretty amazing. Last but not least, everything is really clean, studios and the bathrooms which makes a difference. :) They also remember you when you are a repeat customer. read more

The best place for your band to get together. Best equipment and staff that understands a musician's needs.

Euphoria has been my favorite rehearsal space for many years now. Really great bass gear (feels like the studio is geared towards bass players) and well equipped rooms. David is always good for a friendly welcome and chat and the lobby and hallways of Euphoria are covered with his great photos of so many of NYC's finest who have rehearsed there. I told him that Euphoria should have landmark status as a museum of NY music history ;-) I highly recommend Euphoria to anyone looking for the best the city has to offer. Great location too with great restaurants nearby. read more

I booked Euphoria Studios to record a relatively last minute for a recording session I was co-producing. I wasn't able to be on site for the session and the staff at Euphoria made the entire process from booking to file delivery super easy. I really appreciate the ease of booking and attention to detail for the session. read more

The studios at Euphoria are a guitarist's dream. All of the best boutique amps which never disappoint. Dave can't wait to let me know when a new piece of gear arrives. But is's not just the guitar amps, it's the killer bass rigs and kits. But best of all are the PA systems - we always get a fantastic mix from the staff at Euphoria. Mayday, past and present, thanks you! read more

Rehearsed with some friends, was totally blown away by the level of gear provided! Best studio in NYC by far! Highly recommended! A+++++

Euphoria is the best rehearsal studio in the 5 boroughs. Hands down. No question. Dave is the man. Thanks guys!!

Dave, Andrew and the rest of the team are super knowledgeable and easy to work with - they so clearly love what they do. ALL of the equipment works ALL of the time. I won't go anywhere else to rehearse. Thanks guys!!! read more

In 1992, David Sokol founded Euphoria Studios and forever changed the NYC rehearsal scene. There was finally a place to rehearse with great gear, a welcoming vibe, clean and great sounding rooms that offer an environment that is conducive to creativity and getting work done. Years later, Dave and Euphoria have kept up the great vibe, great sound, great gear and the feeling that all are welcome there. The personal attention and care offered by Dave and his staff are not to be found elsewhere in this city or probably anywhere. I can't recommend it enough, plus it's a great place to run into friends and other pros that have also made Euphoria a second home. See you there! read more

Wow, this place is awesome. My bandmate and I were visiting from San Francisco, and needed a few days of rehearsal in NYC before a show. David was really helpful, funny, and let us keep some gear in his office so we didn't have to lug a guitar around the city. Rooms were clean with top-notch equipment. Gustavo even helped me tune my snare drum to perfection. Highly recommend this studio!! read more

Euphoria Studios - Shawn and Mandy from Bang Bang hanging at Euphoria! - Recording & Rehearsal Studios Near Me - New York, New York

As a full time professional musician, I'd like to say that Euphoria is the best studio I've been in New York. The difference between Euphoria and all the other studios in Manhattan is that it gives the musicians all the tools to think about music and art. There's nothing else to worry besides playing and having a good time: the gear is excellent, the place is super clean and always ready to go - when you book the room, they ask you what will be the group instrumentation - so when you arrive there, all the microphones, amps and wires are set and ready to rock. Plus, both the owner and the employees are super polite and available to help with the sound or any other issues at any time. As an artist, I always get inspired at Euphoria, since the combination of organization + cleaningness + perfect gear + happy vibes + the most amazing pictures of famous/killing musicians rehearsing there make me wanna run home and write a new song, or practice a challenging thing, or just feel grateful that I can play music for a living :) read more

THANK YOU to Euphoria Studios (and 3 Dopes) for helping me put together the most phenomenal live video. You guys do incredible work and I hope to work with you again soon! Great space and professional, friendly staff. :) read more

Euphoria is hands down the best rehearsal studio in NYC. Incredibly good equipment, immaculate, and a friendly and helpful staff. No wonder its the go to place for all of the best musicians in NYC. Highly recommended. read more

Fantastic sound, lighting, and atmosphere. Engineers who not only come with the professional experience to know what they're doing, but who have some really incredible stories to tell if you're wise enough to listen. There's a reason so many musical kung fu masters come here to shed and to jam--this place is legendary, and rightfully so. read more

I have been rehearsing at Euphoria for almost 10 years. The equipment is state of the art. The staff is professional, very knowledgeable and friendly. As a professional female musician, I am treated equal. Having been to most of the rehearsal spaces in Manhattan, I always choose Euphoria. I also love the soda machine, because it has seltzer. read more

Euphoria is the ONLY place to rehearse in NYC. I've been coming here for years now.. I live now in LA and I still come here. Great sound. Great people who care. Clean rooms. Well maintained gear. Convenient location. David Sokol, the owner, is a class act with great stories. If you care at all about your music, don't waste a breath considering the cheap guys. Your time, money and craft are too valuable. read more

Just hands down one of the best rehearsal spaces in manhattan. Professional, clean, well stocked and you can't beat the location. They're also great about letting you leave gear there overnight if it's necessary. Just an overall great vibe and place to work. read more

Dave Sokol and crew are the best in nyc. Always have been. Cutting edge gear too. Been coming here since the 90s

I'm a sixteen year old drummer, and I've been in my band for almost 7 months now, and we sound great. Besides our hours of practice put into our songs, it's got to be because of euphoria. At euphoria, the people are fantastic, and they all love any one that works there, and plays there. Euphorias kits are perfectly tuned, and there amps are incredible. I love euphoria so much, and I'll never forget how cool their people are, and how awesome the equipment is. Also, the guy that owns the place, is so freaking nice. Just one thing, don't bring ANY food into the studios, under ANY circumstances!!! You can eat outside, in the lounge, but if you even bring a slice of pizza into the studios, you WILL be in deep shit, and Dave WILL get pissed! That is all. read more

Truly an amazing place with an amazing vibe and photographic decor. The owner Dave and staff were extremely knowledgeable, approachable and professional! Would definitely recommend to all musicians both local and touring! Thanks guys you rock! Manny Cabo. Season 9 of "The Voice" read more

The BEST rehearsal space in NYC, bar none. Clean, attractive rooms, great-sounding gear, kickass drum kits, and a nice, friendly staff with absolutely no attitude. Yes, it's pricier than other places but you most definitely get what you pay for. Plus, I'm a lefty drummer. If I call Euphoria before my session & ask them to set up the drums lefty for me, it's always "sure, no problem." NO OTHER REHEARSAL STUDIO IN NYC WILL DO THIS. Not Ultra Sound, not Smash, not Funkadelic, not anywhere. Believe me, I've asked. If you need a place to rehearse and you don't wanna be bothered with bullshit, i.e., attitude, bad/busted gear, roaches, and smells &/or stains on the carpet that you can't/don't want to identify, call Euphoria. You won't be sorry. read more

I have spent the past couple weeks interning at Euphoria and have experienced the ins and outs of how the place operates and so I figured I could shed some light on it for anyone who has never been. I could go in depth about their top notch gear, the loyalty of their clients (often big names), or their very reasonable prices, but you can find all that on their website. What's more important to anyone considering Euphoria as a rehearsal space/ somewhere to write music/ or even just jam is the atmosphere. Musicians have told me that playing at Euphoria, specifically inspires the music in their sessions. I can imagine that the history of the place plays a role in that. But furthermore, I think it comes from the staff's ability to get you set up in the room, give you the exact sound you want, and make sure the session runs smoothly, keeping the creativity and focus flowing. read more

Euphoria is quite simply the best place to rehearse in Manhattan. Period! You have the best gear (which is maintained well), a very attentive staff, and a very relaxed and professional atmosphere where all the top players rehearse. What more could you want? Hands down the best place to rehearse! read more

Easily the best rehearsal space in NYC. Always great WORKING amplifiers , great gear in general and a GREAT sounding PA. If you care about your music , there is no other place to go. read more

Best rehearsal studio in NYC! Dave takes good care of the players, and the equipment is top notch. I love the Matchless combos. I rehearse here with some pretty high-level acts and they've always done right by us. Highly recommended! read more

Went for the first time last week. Welcoming staff who are friendly, professional, conscientious and accommodating. The rooms are spacious, excellently equipped, clean to the point of pristine, and it's all very reasonably priced - especially for the quality of what your getting. I'll definitely be back there. read more

I've held several rehearsals at Euphoria, and I've never been disappointed. Euphoria's staff is friendly and efficient (you get your own sound-man to dial up the perfect mix for your band!), and their selection of gear is first rate. Dave is friendly and engaging, and he'll even help you set up one of your amps (and tell you all about how to get the best sounds from it, too!). I've been to several other rehearsal spaces in the city, and I'm never going back to them. Euphoria is that good. Do it! read more

I've been going to euphoria for at least 15 years. The place is clean and well outfitted and I always get great help from the staff. It's expensive compared to some, but there is a reason why so many of the top NYC (and around the world) musicians end up rehearsing there; it's a very pro environment. Recently did a recording with aj and his presence was invaluable and the session went without a hitch. Added today: did a session here today and the sound and service were fabulous read more

Horrible! Euphoria Studios (a.k.a. Euphoria Productions) denied my rescheduling request given with 50 hours advance notice (they need 72, I was told) after a key band member had a family emergency. Resigned to using the original time block as best we could, I called the evening before to ask whether they might at least compromise by letting me use only two of the hours I had reserved rather than charging me for all three. In leading up to asking this, I explained about the prior refusal of my rescheduling request. Before I could get any further, the studio representative surprised me by saying they WOULD allow us to reschedule for the following week. Great! I thanked him profusely for reversing the earlier turndown. But then he called back at half past midnight, hours after band members had been notified that they were free to make other plans for the following day, and said he'd been mistaken about their policy and that they WOULDN'T reschedule or refund my 50% deposit. I vigorously protested that everyone had already been notified to make other arrangements, but to no avail. When I pointed that while such shabby treatment of their clientele might gain them a few bucks in the short run in forfeited deposits, it was hardly going to encourage repeat business, he said "WE'RE NOT REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT REPEAT BUSINESS--we have plenty of bookings." He quickly lost patience with my protests and snapped, "Look, do you want the time or not?" I got as far as saying, "Well, umm..." when he snarled, "You're cancelled" and hung up on me. I have not seen their facilities. Perhaps they are fine. But I certainly would not recommend having anything to do with a studio whose staff treats their customers like this. read more

In the interest of full disclosure let me say I'm a former employee of the place. Yet mind the word former. That said, with insider knowledge of this operation, and complete honesty, this is hands down the best rehearsal spot in NYC -if not the world. If you're looking to bang on some chords on the cheap this is probably not your spot. But if you've real work to do, or even just a hobbyists who still gives a shit about what they sound like, then there's no place you'd rather be. Great gear in great condition, great staff (I should know), and a great community built around the place -which I sorely miss, and I assure you, you want to be a part of. In my tenure here I've had the good fortune to meet many masters of their respective crafts and I'll carry the knowledge of this experience for a long time to come, but all sentimentality aside, a business that's been around for 20 years and has probably a 90% rate of recidivism has to be doing something right. Go find out what that is. P.S.- I suggest you plan ahead or expect to be turned away. Only 4 rooms and a sterling reputation means it books up fast! read more

Just a good place to practice, no frills. I am not a professional musician so I cannot make full use of the facility. You should call before making a appointment, walk-ins is something that's not encouraged unless your a known professional musician, maybe. read more

I've had a fantastic experience with Euphoria Studios- they are very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I'm part of a company band with very limited time. The equipment is top-notch, with great quality drum sets, amps, sound board, and cords. My favorite thing about Euphoria is how convenient they make the process- when you enter everything is set up and ready to go- and the technicians are always ready to help with sound equipment. Note this is a rehearsal studio not a recording studio, so it's been optimized as a space to practice rather than record. As a result there are less recording capabilities (multi-track recording, sound engineers, etc). However, for a rehearsal space this has worked perfectly for us. read more

I have to go ahead and give 5 stars because I really don't know what else I would want from a rehearsal place and the next best rehearsal place in town would only be 3 stars. I have rehearsed in every rehearsal space in NYC and Brooklyn and while some places are doable most of them are just gonna get you through the session. Here's this for an idea, have your gear work or get it fixed. I have never seen anyone plug into and amp at Euphoria and have it not work. I have also had the opportunity to be in a rehearsal where an amp went down and boom, wheeled it right out into the shop. Drums are very well maintained and serviced and the cymbals are professional level and never broken. This place might not be best for the hobbiest unless you are going for a professional experience in a professional environment where the staff respects you as a client and when you ask for something they help you without making you feel as if they are doing you a favor. If you are looking for that dirty cbgbs rockin roll poop hole where it smells like sweat, piss and beer, nothing works, and you can't ear the vocals, this isnt your spot. read more
