Foam padding on your walls?

Or better yet, just put mufflers on your drum heads.

i hate the mute pads because they completely make your drums feel and sound like crap.......if you use them i would recommend turning your snares off while in use.....

Use the search function on this site and you'll see lots of information. It might have been on another drum forum but I remember a member described how he built his studio from scratch. It was incredible how many steps it took, and how many materials were used, to build a fully soundproofed room. If you find good tips on how to soundproof an existing room, then post a reply on that old thread and it'll become current again.

Another good suggestion would probably be to ask somebody who has a great deal of experience with muting rooms, such as somebody from a hardware store; if they don't have a great deal of experience they should at least be able to point you in the right direction. Asking somebody who gives lessons would also be a good idea because they usually have to soundproof their rooms in order to keep customers in the music shop from hearing their students and drums and such.

Just a few suggestions(:

Having soft things around your drums and pillows in the corners of your room help a good deal. also blanket/comforters on the walls. Thats the cheap way to go about it

I'm back to using toilet seat covers ($1 each at Value Village) on my drums so the neighbours and family aren't disturbed. I know, it's humiliating. But WTF, at least I get to play. I'm more practical in my old age. I've got plans for a sound proof room, but that's a future goal.
