You've piqued my curiosity when you say it sounds really good too. I think the big reason we weren't going to leave it as the flooring was because we were worried about people slivering on it -- plus, the aesthetic of the hardwood we got is something we're really looking forward to...
Thanks all for the cheering on! |
Slivers have not been an issue, as the top of these are treated pretty heavily with some kind of sealant. I know what you mean about the cost though... I think I spent about 700 bucks for what I needed, but ir was worth it. My space is in a basement, and the temperature and moisture isolation from the concrete floor made it the best solution. Drums sound great in my room now, due largely I think to the floor. Certainly not the best you can aim for, but definately better than concrete or carpet. The one drawback I've noticed to having them be the actual floor surface is they are a bitch to clean (drywall dust, other construction filth) due to their non-uniform surface. I'll grab some pics and post them at some point.
