I just got 5 panels of 20mm x 0.606m x 1.212m Owens-Corning fiberglass material. It's the type with one side already "painted" white with pores (think cheese). I record drums in the living room, which is connected to the rest of the house (kitchen, dining area) without any walls or partitions.
I think most of the reverb happens because the room is too open, so my plan is to HANG panels to the drums' front, left and right sides where it is open (there's a wall with a window in its immediate back), the panels being "pseudo acoustic walls" that should block off enough reverberations during recording. Yes, these panels will just be suspended in mid-air, only held by cables hooked from the ceiling. They will be removed and stored when not recording.
I'll also hang a panel or two on the ceiling above the drums, and attach some on the wall at the back.
My question is, will this work at all? If so, what should I use to hang the panels? I'm not too keen on making frames - it's too much trouble (plus the things will get heavy).
Thanks in advance!
