i would suggest a electric set or drumshields if you dont like electric sets..or the old materess trick
hey guys,
My dad, brother, and I have a music room that has all out musical equipment in it and we're constantly in a out of it. For the drums, they can't be played past 9. Guitars and others don't matter. I need an efficient way to soundproof the room, so I can play drums late without annoying the neighbors or family. Any suggestions?

I've never understood how people can shell out perfectly good money for a wooden musical instrument and then leave it out in the garage. Our garage gets well over 110 in the summer and below freezing in the winter. I'd hate to think what shape our gear would be in if we left it out there.Originally Posted by Chiko
Oh, btw- you can probalby get scrap carpet pad from your local flooring retailer. They recycle it and will usually have a bin in back full of it. If you ask they'll likely give you some for free. You can staple it to the walls & ceiling. Makes great sound proofing.

13 drummer looks like you need the following.
-Staple Gun (an electirc one is best for upholstery about 150.00bucks)
-Mattresses (Sleep Number 3000 is about 800.00 bucks)
-Scrap carpet ( 10 bucks sometimes free)
-drumshield ( I'm not sure)
Phew... we violinst just use a mute (1.00) on the bridge. Looks to me like I have a lot of expenses to cover playing the drums.

Carpet pad (the stuff that goes under the carpet) will work better. The foam kind is reasonably light. Use a hammer tacker to stick it to the walls & ceiling. They run about 35 bucks.
Here's a link to show you what a hammer tacker is: http://www.dhcsupplies.com/handtools...OVMTC=standard

Does anybody know how much soundproofing a room would cost?
Listen, people, im sorry about the username. I know, its awful, but nevermind...
alot. i dont know :P
I was thinking of doing that, but i need some cheap carpet, because iv got quit a big room, in my basment there is 2 concret walls, and the other 2 sides are wood, my walls are about 30 feet by 15 feet.
Carpet won't soundproof a room. But will dampen the sound and stop some of the sound from escaping. But by no means will it soundproof. Do the concrete walls first if you are more concerned with the sound INSIDE the basement, and the wooden ones first if you are more concerned about sound OUTSIDE the basement.
yeah its defiantly the sound inside im worried about, since my set is about a foot away from a concrete wall, I have to wear ear protection even if im playing fairly quietly.
so what would help my situation better, carpets or mattresses, or egg cartons? I was considering all of these but don't know which one would be the best choice for me.
Whatever you have availalbe. the thicker the substance the better off you are.
yeah, mattresses are pretty bulky, Id go with those. don't egg cartons do something different then take the volume down? doesn't it bring out the acoustics in the room aswell?
Does the mattress method really work? I want to put some soundproofing for my room too <_<
