Thread Starter | Room placement for drum kit and room treatment? I have no idea about drums and am asking this for my brother. He just bought a drum kit and has stuck it in a room 2.5 high, 4 long and 3 wide, give or take a couple inches. What would be the best room placement for the kit? And what sort of basic treatment should I get for him to begin with. The room is solid brick. Thanks for the help and sorry for the newb question but I really have no idea. |

| I am going to assume that is in meters.  If it is just for playing in I would start with a few bass traps made from mineral wool or rigid fiberglass with thinner panels (made from the same) throughout the room on the walls (maybe start with covering around 25% of the walls). Also I would put a few of the panels above the kit to stop crazy reflections coming from the ceiling.

Where would I place the kit within this room? I am guessing just off center? Is this the general set up for a room, even if he was to move the drum into a slightly smaller space? Thanks. Im really so clueless when it comes to setting up drums, micing them in studios cool, but practice rooms like this....  | |
