cheers mate! ddrum is a good brand, the drummer from devildriver uses them. i used zildjian cymbals on my old kit, but went sabian this time cos they have so much range

2 bass drums looks tough as, i would love a 2nd bass drum, but as u say not very space efficient lol

It does help. but not to the full effect. Your still going to hear the drums from outside.

The sound rebounds of the circular shape of the cartons. note: half the egg carton.{split in half} not the full package lol.

Sound proofing is extremely difficult to do properly, it really needs either a lot of concrete for the walls or floating floor/room designs..... a combination of both work well but is expensive.

Several cheap things can be done, like hanging blankets from the ceiling. i once knew an engineer tho who had his entertainment room coated in the sound insulating paint that feels like sandpaper (you could throw a beanie on the ceiling and it'd stick)...

and if you could get massive sheets of dynamat to stick to the wall, I'm sure that'd help a fair bit too... double concrete walls are probably one of the best things to have to begin with ($$)

Usually guys that hang blankets and quilts from ceilings and walls are doing it to deaden the sound of the room (e.g. make a drum kit sound less boomy), not necessarily trying to sound proof. Generally acoustic room treatment doesn't have to go hand in hand with sound proofing.

if you're ever building a brick veneer home, use the Bradford style rockwool batts in the studwork as opposed to the typically used fibreglass batts.

They both have similar thermal insulating properties but the rockwool (denser) stacks up better for sound proofing......ultimately double brick would be the way to go but more $$$.

Rockwool is also sometimes used in cavities between floating floors and rooms or as insulation as you already mention.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
