Treating a room for drums.
I've recently moved into a studio and am wondering if anyone could point me toward some favored literature (or give a few tips) dealing with room acoustics? Basically, I have a room I am wanting to use for drums...but don't quite know how to tackle it. The ceiling is about 10 feet tall, the back wall is made of drywall and the others are predominantly made of glass from the waist up. The dimensions escape me at the moment, but the room could easily house a standard rock band. What would you do with a room like this?
I'll be sure to grab the specs and some pictures soon. Thanks alot guys! -Travis M. |

Re: Treating a room for drums.
Here's a couple links to start with:
http://www.realtraps.com/ http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/ultim...ubb=forum;f=26 In general you'll want to find a way to break up parallel surfaces to prevent standing waves. You'll also want to employ a combination of diffusion and absorption. A great book to read if you're planning on doing this yourself would be Jeff Coopers, "Building a Recording Studio." Reading this book will give you a good foundation to work from. Hope this helps.
