Soundproofing My Drum Room!
Вставка

- Come on the journey of destroying my existing room and re-building from the studs up. With very little handyman skill I managed to get a great soundproofing result and a beautiful looking room. This video might help you with ideas for your own soundproofing projects and if you have any questions let me know in the comments below.

bro what a wild journey. i absolutely loved that. E-kits are fine, but you can never beat acoustic. great to have you back. im moved house in the last 3 months and got an E-kit since my place isnt soundproof now. I didnt realise the amount of effort and money evolved for a project like this
Ooo what kit did you get?
Yeah, turns out REALLY soundproofing is hard and needs heaps of mass and zero gaps. Very happy with my room now though, what a ride!
@@LearnSomeDrums I got the Donner DED-400, it does the job. Some of the roland ones are way better though (like the one you have)
can't wait for some more lessons bro, your vids are the best
hopefully when i retire or when i have a decent amount of money to invest in non essential project i would love to build a small soundproof studio space for a small band to play in, similar to the ones i used to go to as a young kid with my friends to practice before gigs
been playing bass and some guitar for the better part of 20 years and picked up an ekit to learn drums with just yesterday and jumping into a new journey. i really hope one day i can have a real acoustic set. much more satisfying tactile experience than an ekit
For those saying it's not enough of an improvement, you need to realize that decibels are logarithmic. A 10dB reduction represents a 10X (yes 10 times) reduction in the sound's power. I saw a max delta of around 14dB between the before and after, which makes for around a 25X reduction!
The room looks great, man, I’m impressed with the hard work
yes ! Glad to have you back man !! It would be really cool if you gave a lesson on some more Nirvana songs , im on a roll with that band lol .
I built a mini carpentry in the house in the room I built a frame for the room from wooden boards and reduced the room and above and below I made 3 layers of.. earth wool or sheep's wool (the stuff that itches in the hands).. and nylon crackles and I made a lot of noise for several months. at a distance of half a meter from where I'm cutting wood, there are neighbors and I haven't heard a word from them about the noise... the reason I disassembled is because I didn't have proper ventilation... but for you it's 100% quiet even inside the house
Nice work! 15dB extra attenuation at low frequency is quite an achievement - and the character of the sound is much better, too - definitely sounds more muted than the 'raw' room, with much less high frequency sound getting out. Some bass traps in the corners, and some more absorption over the walls, and it'll be a great drum room!
Yeah it’s a good number for the neighbours too - definitely not too intrusive on their space.
Good tips too, thanks. I’m still considering doing one wall in faux wood Acoufelt or city scape type foam. And some hefty panels for the corners would definitely do wonders as well.
Cracking job. 🍻
Great video, lots of good ideas. I like the polyester-stuff, slightly on the pricy side but non-irritating at all. That´s why your where able to use it in the ventilation without covering it. One question perhaps: What about the floor? It a huge surface, picking up tons of vibration.
I used an acoustic grade underlay and carpet. But you make a good point. If it was a problem I think I would build a rise for the drums to decouple them from the floor completely.
So how about that lighting? Where is your light fixture attached to? Would it not negate the isolation clips if it is attached to the side of a joist?
Dude glad to see your back! Can you please do some of the new paramore album! I need to learn everything after the first 2 songs.
Fantastic Marcus. I'd love to check it out someday.
Anytime you’re up my way Cvito definitely come jam!
He’s back!!!
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to lessons from here 😮
Yes! Keen for more lessons soon.
Total cost?
how much was it all told?
Nice video
Looking good bud! 👏🏻👏🏻
badass.
This is video is amazing
Marcus! We're gonna have to get some more drum tutorials soon. It just has to happen, doesn't it?
It HAS to! I have a whole room to play with!
SO IS THERE WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN!!!
What about rooms inside the house? Take a reading from there.
Good idea! I’ve tested the room directly above and it’s pretty good. Not silent by any means but significantly reduced.
Last time I did this, I played Fortnite and
Maybe I should have done that instead…
Demoing barefoot is WILD
Seems like a ton of money for only 10 decibels no?
Yeah tricky one. I’m not sure if the db meter did it justice - it definitely went from sounding like someone was playing drums in the front yard to maybe someone playing music on a stereo from a room in the house.
Soundproofing is a pain because you HAVE to try to stop all the frequencies and drums are just bloody loud. I feel like I can practice guilt free now though and no complaints from the neighbours so yes, it was expensive but I’m happy with it!
@@LearnSomeDrums Fair enough. I simply chose to go with an electric set. lol
Where you made you mistake was by not having more sound traps. Look it up "Sound Traps".
Oh for sure, the sound treatment continues. This was mostly about sealing up the room so I don’t annoy the neighbours!
