- How to soundproof a drum room is a question that definitely comes to mind with every drummer but is not easy to achieve. Sound proofing a room for drumming requires a lot more than just adding a layer of drywall and some mass loaded vinyl and you call it a day.
This video will show you the step by step process that you can do yourself DIY for soundproofing your drum room and make it also sound really good inside the room. Because you also have to think about acoustic treatment.
Here are some of the soundproofing material I talk about in this video.

Try adding a 14 rank pipe organ to the house :) I added a second interior 2" thick wall to the inside of the exterior walls, with insulation in the 2" plus what was in the walls, and 1/2" CDX on top, covered by 1/2" sheetrock.
Dual pane windows were also put in, it worked well
That would definitely help! Thanks!
Some years ago, I was contacted by a well to do friend about modifying his garage so he could play his drums at any hour and not bother the neighbors. His was a different situation as money was not an object, accomplishing the mission was the goal. The nearest house to him was about 80 feet, so we didn't have to be perfect, but I tried. After a month of work, and doing a lot of the things you talk about, He was happy and so were the surrounding residents.
Hello, greetings from Mexico, what do you think about using an exterior brick wall, then a 15cm cavity filled with fiberglass R-19, and then the internal wall of hollow block filled with sand? would the isolation be superior to any configuration used with drywall? Thanks for your help
so i went ahead and put 2 layers of 5/8 drywall in front of my window to block neighbor noise. i sealed it with duct tape. it is decreasing noise by about 75%
That’s awesome!!! Are you happy with the results?
@@soundproofguide very happy. its like living in a different house
@@soundproofguideWhat if instead of a second drywall layer, we used 3-5" of CLT paneling for the walls then the 5/8 drywall? Wouldn't the density of the CLT help reduce noise?
So in depth. Thanks!
Right on time!thank you
well thank you this was definitely insightful and educational. in addition we can now definitively prove that carpet glue is what Julian over at Baumgartner was scraping off the one time. 😮
Dude, ur channel is a gem
Hi, I don’t really understand where you add the MLV just after the resilient channels. Are you saying you put it right on the studs or after you installed the 1st layer of dry wall (in between the 2 layers)?
Which is the basic video you mention to soundproof the drum room?
Thank you!!!🎉
Remember reading article in an architecture magazine decades ago about George Lucas studio in Skywalker ranch. Said necessary to build room inside room just connected at small points to stop transfer of low frequency noise.
Can I put those channels over existing drywall and add the second layer? I have a room we built a few years ago. It has 2x4 wood studs with spray foam insulation full thickness throughout, typical 1/2” drywall and the floor is thick carpet over 1/2” pad on concrete slab. Solid core door
Hi nice video. Great info. I think I can send my contractor this video.
Do you have any ideas for hanging stuff to the wall? For example, I live in a warm country and I have to have an AC in the room. Is there s specific way to add this to the room? Also, as my studio is also a "man-cave", I want to add my dartboard (I have a big wooden board, where the dartboard is attached). Wouldn't drilling holes to hang stuff disturb the "soundproofing"?
So what kind of feet would you use for the drum platform to decouple it from the floor?
Decoupling and mass are key solutions. I would also use 2 different thicknesses or densities of drywall or other wall board
To minimize resonance?
Do you have a project of Operable panel with high stc rating, Thanks.
Hi. Do you have any recommendations to block the noise from inside the room? We are using some sewing machines in the apartment we are renting and don’t want to disturb our neighbours. Thanks so much! 😊
Hey thanks for the video! Quick question. How much of these techniques are for sound transfer through rooms? I ask because I’m building a drum room in my garage and don’t really care about sound transfer because there are no other rooms in the garage. That being said I still need to be sound proof. Was thinking about spray foam for that air tight seal and then 2 layers of drywall. You think that will be enough?
Just wondering, if you’re using wood, studs, the same thing, a piano or an acoustic guitar is made out of, the low frequencies are going to be more of a challenge and require you to go to the extra effort to isolate. What if you used aluminum studs?
I have an electronic Roland drum kit on the main floor of my house which is above my basement. If I’m in the basement and my son is upstairs jamming on the drums, it is really loud especially when he is stomping on the kick drum. So eventually I want to re carpet my entire house but the area where my drums are located is going to need some serious sound proofing. I’m in a condo and I do have neighbors next to me and behind me but nobody under me unless you are in the basement. What do you recommend for soundproofing the area where the drums are and can that material be installed underneath the carpet for when I do re-carpet my house?
MDF and tennis ball platform to decouple floors.
Watch the video.
Looking for a solution for the floor. Music room on 2nd floor of the house. Not for a drum kit, but foot perussion/cajon. Tkanks for the walls!
How about using sonopan plus drywall instead of dual drywall?
😬 I would love to get a drumkit but even my snare sucks inside and I understand why now. I have a timber frame house.
Is there an option to at least dampen it and improve the sound.
Hi is AAC block really soundproof?
Is it better than bricks in soundproofing?
It is very important question for me Please help me
Do you use mud and tape on the drywall seams? Or just caulking? I don't think you can caulk the corners and seems and then mud over the top of the caulk or can you?
After applying the sealant to drywall seams, including corners, it's crucial to allow it to dry for 48 hours before applying standard finishing materials, like mud and tape.
Hi insightful video however i dont understand why you need to destroy rhebwalla and not just build another sound proof wall internally, especially if you change it back later?
Working on my basement now, I have so far, ceiling insulated with roxul with half inch drywall up, then I added sonopan.. next is resilient channel and a layer of 5/8 drywall
Awesome! Let us know how it all comes together!
how did the sonopan work ? have heard some horror stories of people that pulled it down and added extra layer of 5/8 instead.
@@chriscarr1791Meaning they had better performance from a second layer of 5/8 drywall?
@@MadLadsAnonymous Yes, 100%. Mass is key to stopping the sound. Sonopan is 1/3 the mass of a sheet of Type X drywall
I dont have drywall in my drumroom, its my basement, which is the size of my first floor, so Idk what to do. Do i leave it, or what?
My problem is beneath bedroom radiators. Living space below now.
Used Mass Loaded Vinyl to lower level ceiling, up against existing drywall, then MLV, then new drywall layer. Great for the most part, it ended creaky floorboards (kinda miss it).
But still hear voices which I take to mean, radiator and glass window problem. Will chalk after exterior paint in a few months, not yet.
Used scrap gold foil underlayment behind radiator. Used acoustical putty for the pipe …it took a lot, too.
I can use quality carpet tiles to push against the wall, probably minor improvement. Don’t want to introduce foam, breathing hazard-wise.
What else?
Plaudits for all you do. This is pathfinding….in what has been a desert.
There’s not much else you can do unfortunately. If the was a space between two walls, like an above door vent, I’d suggest a sound maze, but that wouldn’t be ideal for a radiator vent.
Best of luck and thanks for leaving a comment. Wish I could have helped more. Also difficult when not being able to see.
Hello! Really appreciate you sharing your information. Not sure if you’ve addressed this before, but looking through your videos I couldn’t find quite what I was looking for: what could be done to minimize noise in an apartment wood shop? Mostly hand tools; only power tools would be a drill press or cordless drill, and those aren’t so bad. Mainly worried about hammering away at a mortise or using a mallet to push joints together.
Our next door neighbor has BLASTED their T.V. before and we could hear it plainly in the hallway but not a bit in our apartment, so I think the soundproofing is already pretty decent? But I’d like to have my bases covered and do what I can to be quiet for our upstairs neighbor too. Sorry for the novel.
Great question. You could apply some of the methods I talked about in this video but it doesn't sound like you have much for structural noise so you might be able to get away with not having to remove the drywall.
Adding some MLV between another layer of 5/8" drywall should be enough. But I'm not sure if it would be enough to soundproof for the hammer hitting. All depends on how far the other resident is.
Great question!
Hello ! I'm going to build a new building with concrete walls, which is near railway station. what are the techniques do you recommend to apply before building it ? . I watched your train noise cancellation video and is it possible to add two concrete walls to that building with some space among them to reduce more noises ? or are there any specific concrete bricks to reduce noise?
There are no specific concrete bricks that stops sound better than others. Just make sure the the concrete walls are sealed tight. I’d add mass loaded vinyl with drywall overtop of the concrete wall.
Yes they do make acoustic block. Used them in a high school band room 20 years ago.
Use concrete blocks and fill with sand if you want to do it right. It makes me nervous from watching advice from people who likely haven't actually done it but read it somewhere.
Sealant can’t be understated! You have to seal the cracks between the drywall seams. You want to air trap the sound in between the sheets of drywall and carpet glue. Put in just enough screws to fix the sheet in place, then push on the on the drywall. You will get the glue to string in between sheets, creating a membrane filled air gap. Then fully screw it in. Seal all seams to trap the sound and send it threw the membrane again. 🤷🏻♂️
Sealing the sheet rock to the floor, and sealing all electrical boxes makes a 100% improvement. 200$ in caulk and putty will make your walls outperform your windows, and door.
Do you use mud and tape on the drywall seams? Or just caulking? I don't think you can caulk the corners and seems and then mud over the top of the caulk or can you?
This is information I need!
Exactly!
Would a concrete built home be equivalent to everything you talked about here to cut noise between floors?
It wouldn’t be equivalent but it might help. It all depends how the home was built and how thick is the concrete.
It'd be awesome if you could do a video for sound proofing against a room that has a dog making loud noise!
How do I contact you to explain my problem
Hey man. I have a home studio and I like to play loud music through my speakers at night. But I don’t want to bother my neighbours and my family when they are sleeping. What is a cheap solution to this? I was considering acoustic foam, but through further research, I read that they do not help block sound coming out of your room.
Please help!
Thanks
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about wall soundproofing! I’m thinking of making a video about that very topic. Bob vila and Home Depot are the worst at misinformation when looking to soundproof something.
You’ll need to add mass. Add a layer of drywall and a layer of mass loading vinyl 1lb should be enough (2lbs if you’re really being loud) between the two layers of drywall.
Just hanging things in your room doesn't really block the sound: on this channel he talks about building walls and using mass to block the sound. All of these videos and other websites will show you about real soundproofing, but it costs money and requires real construction skills. Foam will cut down on echo, NOT sound levels...
whats the best tape for soundproofing?
no tape, acoustic sealant.
@@chriscarr1791Like Green Glue?
@@MadLadsAnonymous yes, green glue makes a sealant and compound. Make sure your using the sealant at the joints and the compound between the sheets.
@@chriscarr1791 I didn't even consider the difference. Thank you!
@@MadLadsAnonymous no problem, they have a different consistency once they cure so its important, sealant is the orange tube, compound is the green. Good luck on the build!
I'm not sure any of this will work if you have central heat/air. And you're probably going to need the same treatment on your ceiling, too. I was ready to tear everything apart and do all this, but in Texas I absolutely have to have the AC. I think I could solve that with a creative installation of a minisplit, but funds aren't unlimited. It might be better to sell this house and move north so I can have a basement to build in, and a more forgiving climate.
How about carpet tiles on all four walls and the ceiling and floors and blankets on the windows?
lol "that would really suck" indeed XD
Isn't there a risk of running out of oxygen
if i block all the windows and fill in the gaps in the door in the door.
I dont have window but two doors though :(
7:13 wrong side installation of the bars...
So if I have an existing half inch wall, I add a layer of MLV, then cover it with 5/8 sheet rock that has the green glue on its back? Why so many videos of people ripping out their existing walls to put the MLV against their studs?
I’m not sure why people would do that. The MLV will work just as good being between the two layers of drywall.
looks like im
sticking to an electric set 😔
Blablablabla omg
Надоело. Одно и то же годами рассказываете. И ни одного серьёзного конструктивного решения.
This is Awesome, And I Love It A Lot
Thank you!! 😊
Everything mentioned here is dear as poison. A mere mortal would need to re mortgage his house to build such a room.
The price for peace should never be underestimated.
Hi, I don’t really understand where you add the MLV just after the resilient channels. Are you saying you put it right on the studs or after you installed the 1st layer of dry wall (in between the 2 layers)?
The best spot is in between the 2 layers of drywall.
