Acoustics help!! Trying to record drums...

[BobbyBalow]

The room that I will be recording in is 15ft by 30 feet. I have a cement wall along the 30 foot side and across from that is wood paneling. What would be the best way to set up the drums to record? The celing is made of those cardboard like tiles. The floor is carpeted. Any ideas? Would draping sheets on the walls help? or putting up some egg carton foam? HELP!!!

Hey Bobby,

I am still pretty new myself and learning. Are you trying to soundproof or get a better sound? Big difference, but either way a good place to start would be to read this:

Ethan's acoustic page

I can tell you 1 thing now though, you dont want to use egg cartons.

Good Luck!

Just trying to improve the sound.
