Xevi Matamala. Professional musician.

"I wish I had bought this booth earlier! I think it's one of the best investments I’ve made as a musician.

I'm a drummer and from the age of 15 years old I've been playing locally. I live in Barcelona and rentals of premises are very high, so it is necessary to share premises with all that this implies. In addition they are often outside or in neighborhoods far from the centre of town, which requires taking the metro and wasting time and money on travel.

Now I have it installed on the floor where I live and it's a great booth, I have much more time and I have no problem with the neighbors. I always play at reasonable times, but I can even play at night with brushes and nobody has ever complained. I use it to study, to rehearse with jazz trios and some more pop (guitar, bass and drums or guitar, keyboard and drums) groups. I can also make some recordings, as the acoustics are very good."

Xevi Matamala has a diploma in Teaching Music Education from l'UAB, a BA in Jazz and Modern Music with drums as speciality from l'ESMUC and is currently pursuing a Masters in Musicology, Music Education and Interpretation of Early Music at l ' UAB.
