About Us

Groove Garden Studios was founded in early 2025 by two drummers and best mates James Gillingham and Thomas Earl, looking to offer something much needed for drummers and musicians In Brighton and Hove.

After being told they had to leave their drum studio in 2024, they began looking for a professional, clean studio perfect for teaching, practice, recording and rehearsal. But quickly realised such a thing didn't exist in the local area.

Brighton was crying out for something new!

This is where Groove Garden Studios was born.

We had the idea to create a space that offers everything for drummers. Monthly let drum rooms, a professional and affordable rehearsal room, equipment storage and something new for Brighton... drum practice pods. A dedicated drum rehearsal room that can be pre booked out at any time at a reasonable price. Offering drummers a place to do what they do best. Make Noise!

We're super excited for everyone to visit the space and start making Art!
