Drum room rental at Pirate varies based on location, time of day and session length. Drum studio rental starts at £10 per hour in the UK, $13 per hour in the US and €7.50 per hour in Europe. Use our live booking calendar to find a drum rehearsal space near you for an exact cost. Simply enter your preferred location, date and time.

Pirate's drum practice rooms cater to beginners, intermediate and advanced drummers. For newcomers, consider booking a drum lesson, or feel free to try it out on your own. Many world-class drummers are self-taught.

Our live booking calendar shows the latest availability of studios. You can book anywhere from a year in advance right up until a few minutes beforehand. Some studios are popular, so we recommend securing your slot in advance.

TIP: Book enough time to set-up and get comfortable with the gear, and set-up/pack-down anything you’ve brought along. 

Pirate does not offer on-site equipment rental currently. Check the equipment list of your selected drum practice room and bring any additional equipment you need for your session.

If you've booked a rehearsal room at Pirate to play the drums, you must bring your own drumsticks.

For Standard and Standard+ studios, remember to bring your own cymbals.

However, cymbals are already provided in Lite, Pro and Showcase rehearsal studios.

While all Pirate rehearsal studios come equipped with a full 5-piece drum kit, it's recommended to review the kit list for your chosen room before your session.

No, Pirate does not provide drumsticks in any rehearsal studios. Please bring your own drumsticks when booking a drum practice room.

Yes, you can use OpenLIVE to record your drumming session. Look for the OpenLIVE logo when booking a session, enable it during the booking process, and receive a link to edit your recording online after your session. Note that OpenLIVE is not available in all Pirate drum studios.
