are you looking to demo new drum gear, or just find a place to practice drums real loud? if you are looking to demo gear, not sure I can help you with that. I would suggest calling/visiting the handful of music stores around the area and asking them.

However if you are just looking to practice by yourself or with a band, check out Ralph's Musicians Guild in Homestead. you can rent the space (it's a stage + all the gear: amps, drum kit, pa system, etc) for pretty cheap by the hour. maybe 20 bucks or so.

the other alternative is renting a practice space at one of the StoreExpress buildings around the area. I know there is one is Southside and (I think) McKees rocks that rent out practice spaces to bands with 24/7 access. Good luck!

I’m specifically looking for rehearsal spaces, not to demo gear so I’ll definitely check out Ralph’s! I already own my dream kit, I just left it back in North Carolina because my mom has a house and room to store it whereas I am living in a small duplex. But I’ve missed playing! Thank you for the suggestion!

There are also a few drum shops in the area. Drumfactorydirect, Pittsburgh Drum Exchange, and Hawthorne Drum Shop (last two are next to Hollowood Music, an old school pgh music store - def worth a check out someday)

Have space and instruments. However no physical drums. Only pads. Def up for jamming out though.
