This review is about their rehearsal space. I didn't use the recording studio or any other…read moreservices, so I can't comment on any of that. I booked a 3 hour session in their rehearsal space with a 5-piece band from 6-9 pm on a weekday. The good: CHEAP. $65 for three hours worked out to $13 per person. You can't beat that, CONVENIENT LOCATION. I live in Bethesda and love going to 7Drum City but it's too much of a hassle to get there on a weeknight. This place is one of the few rehearsal spaces out here in the burbs. The not-so-good: EQUIPMENT. The guitar and bass amps and mic were quite good. The keyboard was a joke, a cheapo gadget and not the full 88. The drum kit was in a sound booth, which made it a bit awkward, and had a cracked cymbal and some other issues. THE EXPERIENCE. This was the thing that kind of turned us off the place. We didn't realize that there is no staff on site after regular business hours. We took the elevator down to the basement level and came to a long deserted hallway of locked doors. We called the number and found out that we needed an entry code, which they gave us. We got in and had to figure out for ourselves which was the practice room. The keyboard was hard to find. We needed over-the-phone guidance. And we were under surveillance the whole time. It is probably a totally different vibe during business hours but this was just not comfortable or conducive to getting into a music mood. It was a basement with no people, no windows, no bathroom, and just felt really creepy and weird.

I was especially impressed with their selection of ukuleles. Never have I seen so many in MD in one place! Definitely more than what Guitar center offers. They have an acoustic room in the back to try their acoustic/classical guitars. I had the chance to buy one of their used guitars at an amazing price. I appreciate the staff working with me on the price and even holding the instrument for a day when they could have easily sold it to next customer. Shows that they care about customer satisfaction more than just making a sale. I was able to spend a good amount of time trying out the instrument and they also helped tweak the intonation before I decided to take it home with me. The only few downsides I could see was some of the staff were not particularly knowledgeable about certain guitar models that they were selling, but much better than say Guitar Center. The humidification in the acoustic room basically only controlled by a residential type humidifier, so not very precise. Compared to other small guitar shops in the DMV, I don't think I would feel comfortable getting my guitar worked on here just based on the level of expertise I surmounted from the conversations I had. But a good place to buy gear nonetheless if you know what you are looking for. Parking is just a little challenging since it is in the middle of old town Gaithersburg. But in the past I have come on the weekends and there is some parking across the street at the museum.

There are many better options in the area such as Chuck Levins and Bill's Music that are more welcoming and frankly have a much larger selection of instruments. EDIT - Tony, you know exactly what you did. You thought you were being funny but ended up insulting a group of people that you may disagree with, but are still some of your customers or potential customers. I do not feel comfortable doing business with companies that do not treat all of their customers with the same level of respect. I respect your right to have your opinions, but we all have choices.

Review is for Blue House Productions…read more Blue House Productions is a recording studio that does video productions, and can provide live streaming services, per their website. I was back here again to see a show by local artist, Eli Lev. This event was his Past Lives Album Release Show, and he came stacked as a stringed trio (Eli -guitar; Jeff - upright bassist, and Bailey - cellist). They took the performance to a whole other level. Can we do a rewind? I would LOVE to experience that show live again. I can't wait for his new album to be released. I knew where to go as this was my second visit here. I last visited in 2019 and had fun back then. Once parked, it wasn't hard to find the place as signage is on the outside of the building (Blue House Productions). The staff inside was super cool, and so were the attendees. Eli Lev brought the house down, once again, and even live streamed his performance. You should check it out. Described as good vibes and great music - I had an amazing time.
