nice clean kit mate. I had the same sabian setup.

DDRUM kit. with two massive bass drums. Was made for metal and wasn't room friendly

[Sambo33]

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

[Madaz]

yeah nice sam

i haven't played the drums in years i stared when i was 13 had a kit given to me for Christmas canned the neighbors with it

but it got sold by my mate so he could buy and oz

[Sambo33]

cheers steve!

lol, yeah the neighbors love it hey.

on a side note has anyone soundproofed their music room? ive had a couple of police visits in the last few weeks

[PREISS]

One of my mates has. One big room full of egg cartons on the wall. and other various weird ways to soundproof . It looks pretty bad tho haha. Wouldn't recommend it

[Sambo33]

haha, does it kill the sound? i tried hanging quilts on the walls, but wasnt as effective as i first thought. im moving house though, so i think ill go all out on sound proofing

[Madaz]

yeah i went to TTG music school and they had egg cartons on the walls made shit drums sound worse and dont know it was much better out side not sure though

[PREISS]

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.

[Sambo33]

true hey, i got a stack of egg cartons saved here, but havent put them up. im gonna try everything possible at my next place. i dont really wanna pay for rehersal rooms if i can help it

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 $$$.

[PREISS]

the costs involved with music never stop hey. the more you play with it the more you find out - thus wanting more and more parts, instruments, equipment.

Wish I won the lotto .

[PREISS]

looked like a real good show.

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

I used to be a singer... didnt really do much with the band cos they were lazy.
