Hang some carpets on the walls of whatever room you practice in. If it’s the garage just cover the windows and keep the door closed and you should be fine
Same, mainly because we don't have enough room inside so we have my drumset in the shed. In reality I doubt anyone cares but I'm always self conscious about that type of crap
Good idea. I made mutes from a roll of rubber matting which was sold as a shelf protector from the dollar store. Cut the mat into circles to fit my drums, and cut flaps with holes in the center to rest on the cymbals. Someday I will probably upgrade but I only spent $4 and they mute my drums pretty well.
For the bass drum it could also add help to put a dishwashing sponge (i tried with the dual sponge like 3M that has hard surface on one side and soft sponge on the other). Just cut the sponge into 2 and “wrap” it in front of the beater (on dual surface sponge I put the soft sponge facing out and hard surface in contact with the beater) and use some clear tape (or rubber tie) to tie it in. It looks a bit ghetto but I dont care since it dampens quite considerably.
Buy a cheap yoga mat, they go for as low as 8.99 at a TJ Maxx. Cut them to size. With 1 yoga mat i was able to cover the snare, 2 tom toms, and a floor tom. The extra pieces I was able to use for the bass drum.
@@seanwhite7848 did you just use tape?? I was thinking the same problem when going with the yoga mat options but idk if tape is a good option or not lol
@@jenkem69 Icut out a circle of yoga mat punched a hole through through the center and then put the cymbal on top of it. The circle would deaden the sound enough and still leave a lot of action and feel.
For a 16" cymbal, I used a small size t-shirt, cut the lower part of the t-shirt to form a band of about 8 to 10 inches, folded it to make it a double-layer band of about 4 to 5 inches wide and then stretched it around the cymbal. The tighter it fits around the cymbal the better because it will stay in place no matter how hard you play. I hope this helps.

I used an exercise belt, you can do a search online as "waist slimmer exercise belt". This material is pretty elastic and therefore the rebound feels good. The idea from @Will I may do the trick as well, although I am not sure if the rebound is as good.
@@poshmaster9070 No elastic. Just do the t-shirt band smaller than the cymbal. Then, when installing it you will have to stretch it around the cymbal circumference and it will take the shape you see in the video. The tighter the better.
This is going to help me not feel self conscious when learning to play, I'm pretty sure my whole neighborhood can hear me. Thanks a million man.
lol, I've had that thought too like there's always an audience whether u want it or not.
@@justhadrums for real man 😂it took a while to get rid of that consciousness of the neighbors
@@Sam3103s I got rid of it by making homemade drum and cymbal mutes using towels and t-shirts. Now I can practice whatever and whenever I want.

I was using slices of yoga mat to go under my cymbals and it reduces the sound a lot without sacrificing the rebound and feel

@@seanwhite7848 okay awesome ill try that!!! Thanks so much! I appreciate that more than you know!!!😊💜✌🏻
Yes this is also what I did! Works well for the price.
Nice
I feel like the cowbell really got me rolling over the rest of the joke
what are those things? Looks like a polishing bonnet on the symbols, nver seen any that big before
i use raincoat on tom and tape sock on cymbal for feel real. i puts curten from window on bass drum sound good
How did you cut the shirts into rings for cymbals?
For a 16" cymbal, I used a small size t-shirt, cut the lower part of the t-shirt to form a band of about 8 to 10 inches, folded it to make it a double-layer band of about 4 to 5 inches wide and then stretched it around the cymbal. The tighter it fits around the cymbal the better because it will stay in place no matter how hard you play. I hope this helps.
That's what I was thinking !!!... Too KILL /choke, cymbal reverb 😉
Im definetly doing the cymbal hack
I did the same Idea. But used masking tape instead of old shirts
What kind of ride is that? Great video also!
20" Paiste 2002 Heavy Ride
@@estebanrivera9186 I've never liked the sound of Paiste but that was a nice crisp sound. Thanks for getting back.
Play it!!
Hey, this is brilliant! But I couldn't hear what you used for the DIY silent drumheads, if you could repeat it here please

@@willi6880 That's a fucking mad idea. I'm definitely going to try it. How does it affect the round and rebound though??

Hi There, I didnt quite get how to silencie the cymbals.. How did you do a tshirt the size of it. Did you put elastic in it?

great! why don't you show it work
He obviously doesn’t care about the quality of the sound
come on! you present us a lot of thing you chose to silent your drum and you don't even let us hear that ? Play something !
Just buy a dozen cardboard boxes
That works too... but without the natural rebound.
They sell quiet heads and quiet cymbals so this crap shown here is unneccessary and the wrong way to do it.
Unless you're on a tight budget, in which case these ideas are worth a try. Why so angry btw?
