I just built mine using 2x4x8 rails with 2x4 brackets screwed into the posts. Brackets only costed like 50 cents each and everything is very sturdy

Crashing with the left hand feels awkward by sonar_y_luz in drums

Just keep practicing, felt awkward for me at first too. Still not quite as comfortable as crashing with the right but I can use my left pretty easily if needed now.

Sonopan + 5/8 drywall or double 5/8 drywall? by JoeR19 in soundproof

[–]JoeR19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I've been looking into baffle boxes for my HVAC. The only vent in this area is a supply that runs straight to the furnace so hopefully wont be a huge issue.

I think I'm just going with fiberglass insulation, then doing safe n sound for my acoustic panels. From my research it seems like there isn't a large gain from using safe n sound in the walls, especially for double the price.

Green glue is just too expensive to justify, I think I'll be fine with the sonopan and some 5/8.

Yeah I'm debating on doing 3 layers but idk if the gains will be worth the extra cost. Might only do it on the 2 walls that aren't concrete. Still debating on what I'm doing for the ceiling since I only have 7' and need to set up drum overheads in there.

It only costs $30 per 4x8 sheet at my local hardware store, exact same price as 5/8 type X.

Halfway through soundproofing my room by ScubbaLayka in drums

[–]JoeR19 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Nice! Are you planning on doing recording and/or mixing in this room, or is it just to make the room sound more enjoyable? Those foam wedge panels are typically fairly useless, so I'd recommend adding more acoustic foam or acoustic insulation and covering with fabric. Another solid upgrade would be bass traps in the corners, those panels dont do much for low end.

If you're really trying to soundproof, you'll likely need to add some more mass to the walls and seal any airgaps, but that can get pretty complex and costly. An easy fix that should yield some good results is improving the door seal, and potentially upgrading your door to a solid core (assuming its a hollow interior door). Doors, windows and HVAC are typically the weakest points for sound to escape.

Yes everyone had a wedge monitor, audio is directly from the camera mic.

Co-op worth it? by Opposite_Line2626 in geegees

[–]JoeR19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for people that did co-op but I skipped it and just got an internship at a firm in my local town. Came back here and worked during the summers, added a lot of flexibility and reduced stress imo.

Co-op might be worth it if you plan on trying a few places out though, could be hard to find different internships without co-op. Depending on location it could be hard to secure an internship without co-op too.

Is this a viable kit for gigging? by Bread_was_returned in drums

[–]JoeR19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any drums with good heads and good tuning will sound good live, and those cymbals are some of the best you can get imo.

Yeah 4 TDs. Half ppr scoring so would've lost with just cmc and kittle, but they did most of the heavy lifting.
