For those who are unfamiliar with the terms ‘jamming’ or ‘jamm,’ a jam session is an informal musical gathering or activity in which musicians, mainly instrumentalists, perform in a variety of styles according to their preferences. It is possible for these Jam sessions to be based on existing songs or to be fully improvised by the players themselves.

At the same time, it’s more of a leisure time and an artistic endeavor in which you can express your inner musician. If you live within the Klang Valley area and love music, you might be interested in reading our recent article on the best live music venues in KL.

Ever wonder where you and your friends could go for a jamming session? 

Are you in a band? If yes, then you’ll need to rehearse eventually, or you might even want to jam with your friends for a little bit of fun. Luckily, you are at the right place, as this article can serve as a guide for you and your bandmates in selecting the most appropriate jamming studios in and around the Klang Valley.

Things That You Might Consider Before Booking a Studio:

Location

When it comes to preparing any type of activity, the location is the most critical consideration. It is possible that your band members live a long distance away from the venue. This doesn’t seem fair for them to travel a long distance, which may also result in a lengthier time to get to the scheduled locations, only to participate in a couple of hours of jam session. It’s not really that worth it right? Neither is it fair for you to do the same. 

Equipment 

Yes, musical instruments really does play a major role. Even though the studio provides its own instruments like guitars and bass, you might still need the other proper equipment that suits the style of your playing to generate the specific sounds. 

For example the electric guitar’s pedal. As a guitarist or even a bassist, these things are the main components that keep the players and the instruments alive during the session. Not to forget the pedalboard too! 

Most importantly, please remember to bring your own drumstick if you are a drummer, as some studios do not provide them. Even if they do provide, it is possible that it is in poor shape and has not been properly cared for. Bring extra in case you lose it when hitting the crash, or you might become the next target of your bandmate’s laughing matter.
