With summer almost finished, it's time to get back into the routines, adjust the schedule, impose a work selfdiscipline,... Maybe you have just created a band or you think about a change, that's why we have compiled the 10 types that musn't lack in an options list.

• 1.- The park

  A classic. Raise your hand if you have never rehearsed in a neighbourhood park. So: an essential classic.

  • Pros: A bucolic environment. No amp sounds higher than yours.
  • Cons: No electricity. Beware of penalties and intruders.
  • Room: 7
  • Price: 10
  • Acoustics: 3
  • Equipment and comfort: 0
  • Schedule: 5
  • Average: 5

  Recommended for teenagers, acoustic bands or soloists who need love.

  

• 2.- Your bedroom

  A recourse for bands with great problems of financing. Also available in the version for emancipated single men: the living room!

  • Pros: Very near from the fridge.
  • Cons: Restricted mobility. Low volume (someone will say that's an advantage).
  • Room: 2
  • Price: 10
  • Acoustics: 4
  • Equipment and comfort: 5
  • Schedule: 6
  • Average: 5.4

  Recommended for Recommended for teenagers, little acoustic groups or soloists.

  

• 3.- The garage

  I have seen it only in movies, but actually many great bands are born within the four walls of a shabby garage.

  • Pros: Near enough from the fridge.
  • Cons: Normaly not prepared for the musical activity.
  • Room: 5
  • Price: 10
  • Acoustics: 6
  • Equipment and comfort: 7
  • Schedule: 6
  • Average: 6.8

  Recommended for Recommended for rich teenagers, men in their forties with Peter Pan's syndrome.

  

• 4.- The cultural association

  That means: cultural centre, hall in academic centre, neighbouring association, parish or municipal area, assigned to musical groups for a specific period of time.

  • Pros: It's free and sometimes "half" equipped.
  • Cons: There are usually long waiting lists and it doesn't last forever. The kingdom of influences.
  • Room: 6
  • Price: 10
  • Acoustics: 6
  • Equipment and comfort: 8
  • Schedule: 5
  • Average: 7

  Recommended for very new bands and for the person in charge's nephew.

  

• 5.- Hourly rehearsal

  A very advisable solution when a band is starting or, just the opposite, when they have a very crafted repertoire.

  • Pros: You only pay the time you use it and a part of the equipment is already in place.
  • Cons: It's much expensive if you must go very often.
  • Room: 6
  • Price: 6
  • Acoustics: 8
  • Equipment and comfort: 8
  • Schedule: 8

  Recommended for friends who play together for fun; and bands that compose at home (or play covers) and first rehearse individually.

  

• 6.- A shared place (3 bands or more)

  Another classic choice when money is short. Even when the place is large, it shall be dificult to put 3 drum sets, although there are cases of that kind, and so you probably had to share it.

  • Pros: A lot of people sharing the monthly rent.
  • Cons: It's very dificult to assign the schedule, they have to share the equipment for optimise the place... And one of the bands sually fucks up (unwritten rule).

  • Equipment and comfort: 8
  • Schedule: 6
  • Average: 7

  Recommended for new groups in the waiting list of the cultural association.

  

• 7.- A place by two bands

  The best option for the 80% of bands, so to speak.

  • Pros: Endurable expense and a perfect distribution of the rehearsal days.
  • Cons: A few. It isn't like to have a place for yourself but, if both bands collaborate, it's alike.

  • Equipment and comfort: 9
  • Schedule: 7

• 8.- Exclusive place

  Exclusive placeEvery band's dream after one of the previous "states".

  • Pros: Available at any moment. Perfect for studying, composing and even recording, at some time.
  • Cons: The band's activity should justify the price and the need of hours of rehearsal.
