Black Diamond Studios

Lockout rehearsal studios · Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles

Rehearsal space near Silver Lake.

Silver Lake has some of the best small rooms in the city to play, but very little space to rehearse. Black Diamond Studios is just across the river in Lincoln Heights: 50 private lockout rooms you can use any hour of the day, on a month-to-month basis.

Your room is yours alone. Leave your rig set up, come in at 2 a.m. after a show at El Cid, and pick up exactly where you left off.
