Hey Sam, staggered walls are great, but second best. Nothing beats full on double wall construction with 2 layers of staggered and corner overlapped (for air sealing) sheet-rock on the far outside and far inside. At lease 1" between walls. Walls filled with rockwool or something else heavy. I don't know if the pink stuff can do as well as rockwool, but rockwool is relatively cheap, so..
Drums are loud, so it's going to be a challenge for you. Just remember, you could build a room with 24" of concrete all around, but leave one hole a millimeter in diameter, and ALL the sound will still get out through that damn little hole (I'm exaggerating, but you get my point).
Michael, WOW! It looks so much bigger when you put people into the pics. It's coming together really fast, congratulations!
