Re: Your soundproofing for room?
Hi Djadav!
Welcome! Many will likely have thoughts on this, but to help the responses be more useful, can you let us know:
-are you in a home that has some distance between you and neighbors (i.e., unattached house with surrounding property) or attached (like apartment or townhome or two-family home situation?
-is the house wooden, brick, etc.?
-do you want low-cost fix or are you looking to invest in some sound proofing? (Sure the recommendations can go from things found around the home/hardware store, to things you by (sound dampening panels, etc.).
-assume this soundproofing is just for the drum kit, not a band practice (amplification requires an entirely different level of sound proofing...)
There are many ways to insulate, one of them being to help vibration reduction inside the house (putting set on some pads (like the kind that you see in gyms/workout areas) or carpeting, if you haven't done so already. Sometimes the pad on top of carpeting helps. If the room has windows, heavy draperies can dampen sound.
Whatever you do, if you sense issues with neighbors, often good to just go and explain. Hoping you have reasonable folks for neighbors. That also depends on when you want to practice/play.
