Hi, I'm moving into a house next week with a basement. It's a stand-alone house (meaning no shared walls). The basement is pretty big with windows. Within the basement though, there is a room with a door and no windows. The whole basement is carpeted.
I would like to do whatever I can within reason to make a "soundproof" area for my drumset. I'm willing to spend money, but cannot make any structural changes since I'm renting. I'm guessing the closed off room might be the best option to start with. The other option would be to build a soundproof room within the larger basement area.
I would love to hear any thoughts, recommendations or experiences that might be helpful. How "soundproof" can I expect to get? Ideally I would love to be able to bang away at 1am, but I don't know that that's realistic. Oh yeah, and I play the drums pretty damn hard too, so that doesn't help my situation at all ;-)
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
