King Killer has the best community of any rehearsal space that I have ever seen. The staff is…read moregreat, the lounge is immense and always enjoyable to be in, and the venue is an awesome added bonus. I've played a dozen shows and seen a dozen more at the stage at King Killer and I have a blast EVERY SINGLE TIME! It is one of the funnest places to play at in the city. To Greg who leaves one star: Come on dude. Shows get cancelled, that's life. I've never had a show cancelled at KK. Actually, KK offered to host a show of mine when another venue cancelled last minute and it saved us. How sweet is that? Also, 2 weeks seems like a pretty fair amount of time to cancel and I'm sure they weren't dicks about it because they seem like pretty nice guys. If you're a musician looking for a rehearsal space definitely look into this place. If you are a fan of a band that is playing here definitely come check it out as I guarantee you will have a good time. Cheers, Carsten

I generally practice drums solo, and I've gotten sick of commuting an hour from central Brooklyn to dirty studios with crappy equipment. Battalion's equipment sounds solid, and the place is easy to access (plus close to Whole Foods, as an added bonus!). I can't wait to come back. My only push would be to have a bell or something at the front desk. No one was there when I arrived last time, and I had to sit and wait for ten minutes, which cut into my practice slot. I've only been once, though, so not sure if this was just bad timing!

Hi Adrian, I have to tell you that our little lesson was…read morelike a true epiphany for me. The next day I was listening to some John Mayer on my ipod. I have the sheet music with the chords so I tried to play a couple of chords along with the song. All of a sudden it was like a rush of understanding came over me and I was instantly about a 100 times better at playing the piano!! No joke. It was like I have been feeling my way through what I thought was a huge mansion in the pitch black for the pass 30 years. I simply never understood chords and keys and how it was all connected. After just our short lesson, it was like the light switch had been turned on. Not only could I see everything clearly for the first time, but the 30 years of practicing in the dark means I know my music much better than I thought. I was just missing the crucial part to connect it all. Now that I have just a little bit of that it's like I've been unleashed. I can play things beautifully now, in tempo and can even play pieces that I used to simply think were beyond me. I had a few songs I was plodding my way through, struggling to learn my old blind way. I picked them up and could instantly play them all beautifully and in tempo. I'm telling you, it was amazing! Thanks for giving me this gift.
