Air Sound Studio is a small music studio not far away from Hasune Station in the Itabashi Ward of Tokyo, Japan. It comes in very handy - especially during the scorching hot Tokyo summer - to have an option closer to home, and I was glad to be able to escape the longer commute to the practicing studio in Ochanomizu, where I had gone a few times so far.

I had reserved one of their smaller rooms, in which I found a ready-to-play drum kit.

I tried playing along to a couple of different songs, including:

  • Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
    (in continuation from my previous drumming lesson)

  • Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple

  • Handle with Care by Traveling Wilburys
