Both of our 330 sf pods were custom designed to let sound waves flow smoothly around the room. With twelve slanted walls and ceilings, and enough space for up to 7 players spaced 6-feet apart, OMP pods are like funky living rooms. Ultra-comfy, sound-proof, and climate-controlled. Both rooms are equipped with 3M HEPA air purifiers.
Our rooms are already set up with Sonar Safari drum kits, bass amps, full PA with monitors, and even sanitized microphones ready to go. Both rooms have a tuned upright piano. Book and manage your rehearsals with OMP Mission Control, our members-only mobile website. Pods, instruments, and gear are cleaned after each session.
OMP's funky stage and lounge can be configured for groups up to 10 players to rehearse 6-feet apart. Noodle around on the piano. Listen to some groovy records. Browse a collection of unusual and interesting books about music, art and culture. Nespresso coffee on tap, tea, sodas, and bottled water. Free and strong WiFi, too.
CTRL/Command by Richmond artist Noah Scalin is on display in OMP's Lunar Lounge (on loan by the artist). The dynamic sculpture has been on display in Times Square in NYC, and in Washington, DC. The piece riffs on the classic New York City icon of pedestrian traffic signals in an outlandishly oversized format.
All kinds of amps, drums, percussion, synths, keyboards, guitars, and basses. Three tuned pianos. Sonar Safari drum sets in each pod, Roland VR-09 keyboards, Korg synths, Hammond SK1 61, Double bass, Dr. Z Maz 18 amp, Roland Jazz Chorus JC 120 and JC 40 amps, Ampeg BA 115 bass amp, Ashdown Five 15 bass amp, Fender Deluxe Reverb amp.Â

Make a demo (or just record practice) with a Zoom 4-track recorder. A staff member can help prep your pod for a recording session and deliver an MP3 or Wave file after your session.
