Drum Room Plans

Build a separate space inside a drum room.

Drum room plans.

The soundproofing problem as rod gervais says in his excellent book home recording studio. Call it a drum booth drum shield drum cage whatever the bottom line is that sometimes the acoustics of a room will create a need to control the sound of your drums. There will be more on this later. But it was also clear that one drum kit in one room sounded very similar to another drum kit in the same room played by the same drummer.

What to use for building a drum room. You can create a separate space inside an existing room which would be used for drum practice. For a high standard of soundproofing we need to absorb or decouple this vibration to stop it from transferring into the structure of the building. The following is information on my practice room.

I wanted to get a little more detailed with the specs materials used and the things i learned so i ve written an updated post here. Build a drum practice room music studio if you are seriously going to practice drums at full volume then you need a good quality practice room.

To do this we use the room within a room technique. Once isolated and contained within the room the sound needs to be adjusted and managed so we can create different drum sounds at the microphone position. Building a drum room in your home can provide a dedicated space for your kit and offer the opportunity to build in soundproofing both you and your neighbors. And it was drastic.

A special ceiling and. Build it like the pros cengage 2011 forget about building soundproof rooms they don t exist. A drum room must be built and designed to isolate and contain sound energy from the drums. I hope it inspires you mike prestwood.

The changes were huge. The middle of the room is not where you want resonances to occur especially resonances introduced and magnified by a drum that can easily push pressure levels over 100 spl. In a 10 wide room the wave will travel 10 strike a wall and the remaining 5 will rebound back into the room and play havoc with mid room modal resonances. So in order to get that variety we changed the drum kit we changed the miking where we put the drum kit in the room and so on.
