bass traps

can someone give me a link of a website that sells pretty good quality bass traps? (on a budget). The drums in my recording room are so loud its crazy, i really need something to deaden it up. (my room does not have a flat sealing, and the walls are not parallel).


P.S.

Does having a big screen tv in the room make the sound worse?

turn the TV around and put it in the corner.

The cheapest bass trap i've found is you get some home insulation and fill a rubber garbage can and put it in the room (cover it with a sheet if you want)

Also, if you want DEAD you gotta hang drapes and whatnot get the highend killed...

But super-deep is hard to kill.

that's my understanding

I would not fill up a garbage can, but one thing you can do is buy fluffy fiberglass in the bags and stack them floor to ceiling in the corners. It still will not be all that cheap by the end of it.

Gik Acoustics and Ready Acoustics both come to mind. Also check out Real Traps and johnlsayers.com to build your own.
