Record and Rehearse in Asheville: Room B ‘Brett' — 14'x14' Pro Rehearsal Space with PDP Drums & Markbass
Room B ‘Brett' is a compact, pro-equipped rehearsal room in Asheville that fits up to four musicians. With a PDP Maple drum kit, Markbass amp, Midas mixer and ground-level access, it’s an affordable, no-nonsense spot for bands to rehearse, demo, and pre-pro tracks.
The Experience
Before You Go
Label your cables
Bring masking tape or pre-printed labels to mark instrument and DI lines—saves teardown time between sets.
Reserve early evening slots
Book 4–6pm to rehearse before local open-mic nights and test material at nearby venues the same night.
Bring a DI
If you prefer your own bass tone, bring a DI box even though a Markbass amp is provided.
Protect drumheads
If you're touring with a cranky kit, bring extra heads and at least one spare kick beater to avoid delays.

Conservation Note

Asheville has long supported an independent music scene and DIY venues, making compact rehearsal spaces like Room B part of a broader tradition of local musical collaboration.
