Hey all.
For a few months now I've been looking into building a drum booth so that I can go at it in my garage without pissing off the already miserable neighbours. At first I looked at stuff like Esmono and Whisper rooms, but there's just no way I can afford something like that.
Earlier today I found this page. Has anybody had any experience building and using these things? What kind of sound reduction could somebody listening from outside expect? And, more importantly, what kind of cost could building one realistically run to? I'm also wondering if it would be fairly easy to build it bigger than the stated size, because that thing just isn't big enough for a kit.
If anybody knows of any other systems like this - i.e. buy the plans and build it yourself - or can point me in the direction of somewhere that would help me design and build my own, I'd be eternally grateful. I've already been looking at places like johnlsayers.com, and I'm starting to get a good grasp of the principles behind so-called "sound proofing". The bit I'll struggle with is the actual construction, because I have no real experience beyond putting up shelves and flat-pack furniture But like I said, any help at all would be gratefully received.
Cheers.
