Drum Booth Construction

[jmcabene]

I rent a small commercial office space for use as a project studio. I want to build a drum booth within my office. My office is small, so the booth will also be pretty small. The surrounding office spaces are separated by the normal Drywall--Insulation---Drywall partition wall. I’ve uploaded two jpg’s: Floor plan & Cross-section of the booth wall/floor/ceiling. I’ve read lots of literature over the years on studio construction and have been reading the discussions on this forum for about two years. I understand allot of it, the calculations throw me off a bit. I’m on the smallest of smallest budget (I bet you’ve never heard that before). I sketched out the booth using materials that: I can afford, are locally available, and know how to construct with. I’ve never built with resilient channels or resilient hangers. I know their a little costly and I’m foreign to using them in construction, so I swayed away from them for this project. I’m curious if anybody sees a flaw in my design or if something is redundant or lacking. I’m not too worried about isolating it from me (Because the booth is in my office space), but rather the isolation from the surrounding offices. Because I’ve never been in a room with this drywall/celotex/drwall/floating floor design, I’m curious if this actually will isolate my drums from the other offices.
