Everything is ready
Drums tuned, amps on, PA set. You bring your instrument and your band, nothing else.
About us · since 2010
Two brothers,
one building
full of music.
Silver Note Studios started in 2010 as a plan by Anthony and Jonathan: a place in Aalsmeer where you walk in, sit down and play. Fifteen years later the drums are still ready.
How it happened
From a pair of sticks to three rooms.
- 1995
Holendrecht
Anthony is six and gets his first sticks from Henry, a drum teacher from the neighbourhood. He never stopped.
- 2010
Aalsmeerderweg 283
Anthony is 21 and opens Silver Note Studios with his brother Jonathan: rehearsal rooms, a recording studio and a lesson room under one roof.
- 2011
The first drum lesson
On a Tuesday afternoon, in the smallest room. These days around forty students a week come by, via dedrum.studio.
- 2017
On the road
Anthony becomes the drummer for Sevdaliza. Eight years of touring, from Tokyo to Reykjavik, and once behind the desk at NPR Tiny Desk. Always back to Aalsmeer in between.
- Now
Three rooms, one code
You book online, the door opens and everything is ready. We keep the backline in shape and are usually somewhere in the building ourselves.
How we do it
Three things we stick to.
No front desk, but a human
Your personal code opens the door. And if something comes up: send a message, we are usually in the building ourselves.
We play it ourselves
Everything in the rooms gets played by us too. A cymbal that sounds off is something we notice first.

Same people, different doors.
Silver Note is the building. More happens inside than practising.
Come by sometime. Good chance one of us is around.
