HAHA My drum room is 12 by 16ft with 9ft ceilings. I have rock wool in the corners from top to bottom. Rockwool drum cloud covering the ceiling over the kit. Two of the four walls are offset so the room is a lopsided rectangle. the walls to the left and right of the drums are covered every few feet by 2 x 4 ft sheets of rockwool floating off the walls. The only wall not covered is the wall the drummer is facing. I am having weird phase issues. I a lot of people here tell me its most likely my room. The drums are parallel to the walls the floor tom is about 3 feet from the corner and wall which leaves about 8 feet of room in front of the kit. My question is this. Should I push the kit more in the center of the room. back it into a corner? I am frustrated. Thank you for your time.

I would try it in both places and see which sounds better.

Nutra, acoustic treatment for listening rooms is very different to recording rooms. When you set about making a small room neutral for mixing, each new installation of traps, reveals another problem, previously unheard. The final result can be very dead. Fine for mixing, but useless for drums. Try some large sheets of plywood, laid at an angle to the wall. This should liven things up a bit. The angle will prevent flutter. Drums in the corner, facing out, I would guess. Bass boost from the corner, like a Bass Horn. Plus all the reflecting walls are all farthest away from this position. DD |
