Here is a picture of the area that I use for my studio. As you can see this is a multi purpose area (2+ car detached garage). The problem is that I have metal garage doors, no wall treatment of any kind, other than that black fibreboard stuff between the studs and outside wallboard. The total area is like 26x22 (I think), and I dont know the exact hight of the roof, but it has about a 4' peak and 6' wide section of plywood atic flooring that runs the length of the garage, and about 1/3 of the floor is covered with a kitchen type carpet. Outside noise is not a real problem because my house is about 100 yards off the street with woods on both sides and a cornfield in back (no jokes please, it is Kansas after all) . I want to do something to make my drums sound better in this less than ideal room. I cant do anything like blocking off garage doors, and dont have the cash to do any drastic wall treatments. My drums sound better with the door open, so I know that those are a problem. I saw an add in modern drummer for what looks to be basically packing blankets. Would there be any adwantage to getting 5 or 6 of these and hanging them from the rafters around the area that my drums occupy, and maybe over the doors? Would they help cut down the reflections from the surrounding concrete floor and untreated walls? They seem very cost effective if they would work. Anybody that has any experience please chime in. Im pretty new to this.
