5x5 and 11 foot ceiling drum booth?

stresstour · 5th December 2007

How would you treat this for tracking?

Would you treat the bottom walls (703 panels) real good and maybe hang a 703 up close to the ceiling?

btw - I know it is small but it's all I have right now for isolation.

I'm trying to visualize how you're even going to get a drumset in there, especially after putting up acoustical treatments. But yes, I'd try to make it very dead in there.

Sorry, it is 8x5 and 11 foot ceilings. sorry! The drums are sitting left to right of the 8 feet length.

Do you need isolation for complaining neighbors or because you think all bleed is bad bleed? Because if it ain't the neighbors...get that drum kit the hell out of that room.

LOL... I hear your passion about letting the drums breath. Wished I could.

Sounds like I need to soundproof the hell out of the room and replace the drums with some Steven slate samples.

I'll post an mp3 in a couple of days of what the room sounds like right now, before I do anything else to it.

thx

As extensively as possible. My specific advice depends directly on how much you're willing to spend on it. Mostly you want to kill all reflections with absorption.

I'd experiment and not glue anything up permanent ...live walls can work in a small place sometimes.
