Rehearsal studios in Melbourne go by many names: music rehearsal studios, rehearsal rooms, band practice spaces, jam rooms, music practice rooms etc. and Melbourne has a plethora of them. Bands and amplified music groups need them so they don’t disturb their residential neighbours.
Hydra Rehearsal Studios Melbourne is a professionally designed, built and well maintained rehearsal studio complex in Burwood, Victoria, Australia. Hydra has ten, 30m2 (5m x 6m) rehearsal studios for hire and each rehearsal studio is fitted with high quality and powerful 2400w PA and foldback combos. PA systems include HK Audio FOH speakers, Yamaha foldbacks and Mackie and Yamaha desks. Each rehearsal room comes standard with three Sennheiser 835 microphones, three K&M microphone stands and three quality XLR leads. Each rehearsal studio is very well soundproofed, acoustically treated and is fully air-conditioned and ventilated.
Backline hire includes drum kits, guitar amps, bass amps, guitars and basses and there are also storage facilities available. The shop at reception sells drum sticks, guitar strings, earplugs, 9v and AA batteries, Dr Pepper, Mother, Red Bull, Boss iced coffee cans, espresso coffee and bottled water. The kitchen/sitting area has a microwave, a communal fridge and two vending machines stocked with chips, chocolates and soft drinks. Reception also has a large supply of free-to-borrow guitar leads, straps, power boards, kettle plugs and drum kit items for when customers accidentally forget to bring those to rehearsal. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the studio, including a 5G connection
Drum lessons are available on site with experienced drummer, Kayne Smith; catering to a wide variety of musical styles and age groups. A drum kit is supplied to each drum student during the lessons.
Parking is great – there are no parking restrictions in the street and there’s plenty of it; customers can park very close to the studio with 12 gravelled and concreted bays making up the ‘on site’ parking and 35 street parking spots available during the weekday evenings and weekends. Load-in is easy – customers can drive right up to the main doors and there is a virtual fleet of different types of quality trolleys to use.
Hydra Rehearsal Studios Melbourne has staged and organised many gigs and mini-festivals over the years and has also sponsored local music events and youth music programs. Hydra assists its customers with organising gigs, finding venues, sound engineers, finding support bands, forming line-ups, and engaging promoters and marketing support. The owner of Hydra (Peter) has worked as a professional musician, composer, band manager and conductor and we freely share current music industry trends and info, contacts etc with our studio customers
Hydra Rehearsal Studios Melbourne is a manned facility and there is always a manager on duty to assist you. The primary focus of the studio is that each band/artist has a successful and trouble-free rehearsal whilst using the facilities. Hydra’s managers can, for example, make sure singers can be heard above the band, that backing tracks are clear, help set up in-ears sends and returns, and ensure that the acoustic guitar sounds the way the customer wants it to through the PA; and if something like a mic lead stops working, it gets replaced immediately. The studio managers stay out of the customers’ hair and give them their space, but are always very ready to assist should anyone need it. The facility is constantly being improved and upgraded and management listens very carefully to customer feedback. One of the advantages of being a manned rehearsal studio is actually meeting the customers and truly discovering, ‘what musicians want’.
The studio first began in 2006 with a set of five music rehearsal rooms in Evans Street Burwood. The current location at 18 Duffy Street Burwood opened in 2008 and the ‘long corridor with huts’ design emerged during a meeting of the owner (Peter), the builder and the draftsman. Thousands of bands and artists have used the facility and made it their home/rehearsal headquarters. Hydra has served the Melbourne music industry for 20 years and is a studio owned and run by a Melbournian who knows the Melbourne music scene.
