Wow, that's something I didn't know. Anyone have the scoop??? Ann is an old bird in the studio business.
Anyway, BMC aljunied should be respected in every sense. They have being in the business for more than 10yrs (maybe close to 20 already). You have to understand, they are running a business, so they will have a policy to maintain their equipment properly.
How would you like it if you open a studio and you don't care about how your equipments is treated. Replacing broken cymbals, sticks, skins, PA system speakers frequently, will burn a hole in your pocket. Furthermore your equipment will be in poor condition, and the better customers won't want to come anymore, only those who anyhow wack and trash will come. End up you have little customers, and your things are always broken. You close shop very soon.
I run a studio, so I know what customers do most damage, believe me, you might be surprised you will likely be on the list.
I have seen 2pcs band who do more damage than a 5pcs seasoned death metal band.
So please understand the studio owners position.
Thus I try to explain first to customers who falls into this category. If they don't listen, then it's too bad, they go, would you want these kind of customers yourself??
Hmmmm.... your first post did said about being ousted from wee lee studio. And the tread progresses with the similar theme, so I do not think we are off topic.
Anyway, we are just trying to help you find out what is the possible causes, and could help you understand better. So when you find your next regular studio, you will know how to behave and play properly, so you can stay with that studio regularly.
Studios are everywhere, it's not tough to find a regular place, just a matter of staying there for long.
Wee Lee actions are not baseless, he is still doing well. So who is more affected??
Maybe you should try Seng Chai at Jurong East Central, or Alvron at Bukit Timah (near beauty world)........ hahaha

Oh..that's how you view it...no wonder... 8)
This was what i had in mind when i posted what i posted. I stated that we were "kicked" out because we were too "loud" so that i'd get replies that would suggest studios that can tolerate our "loudness".(trust me we're not rebels or whatever, we did lower down our volume. but he still didnt want us to come back) we're just looking for studios that we can go to, to jam at our normal volumes and at the same time not piss anyone off...I really appreciate your concern! i think your interpretation is different cos you own a studio and you're like way older than i am...
Yup he (wee lee) is still doing well...good for him...who is more affected? WE ARE!! that is the main reason why we are looking for rockable studios...
So please help us out softies! really really appreciate it! :wink:

What happened?
Dudes.....music brings together people, not against. Everyone meant good as I see it. So.... yeap.

last time i was at Wee Lee Aljunied i told myself i wasn't going back. Double pedals were DW4000 and very badly worn out. Spring tension isn't OEM, and shoddy repair work. Drums aren't tuned (which is understandable since lotsa drummers mess with the tuning) and cymbals... just didn't sound good.
back then i was just elated at the thought of being able to jam. I preferred their Serangoon studio more since the stuff is newer, but their customer service just isn't very appealing.
After visiting, Beat Merchants, Velvet, Guitar77 (especially Guitar77!), Soundmix, and seeing pictures of Fourtones studio... you can see what a huge difference there is in terms of equipment quality. Iron Cobras, nicely tuned sets, Sabian cymbals... woo hoo!
Plus did u notice how distracting studios with a huge glass panel can be when people walk pass? There's always the urge to cut practice and play something for the crowd. Ego-thing i guess...
anyone agrees?
