Do Sound Booths Work For Drummers?

Waste of money playing loud is easy learn to play quietly

cost

How much is it? That’s cool to have at home

It's probably around 110 degrees in there.
Buying just the right air unit (+installation) would be a significant cost.

Would be really interesting to see the comparison in sound level between your bonus room and the booth. I saw the original video describing the build process of the bonus room and I was a bit "huh-oh" that just one solid door blocks enough sound to the other parts of the house. I guess it first felt it would be enough? Glad that you found the another solution without needing to take the acoustic drums back to the storage to play!

Super cool to hear the whisper room in action. It definitely stops the mids and highs but that low end cuts through everything. If you wanted to talk about build a custom room in your garage that is practically inaudible in your kitchen let me know!

or you could just buy a high end electronic drums and just use the acoustic for gigs.

Odery drums 😮‍💨🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Hopefully you pipe fresh air into it

Can you breathe, looks hot inside 😅

Was the garage door open, the screen covered it 🤔

I see the vad 500 series… how much decibels less than acoustic kit? Thanks

Family should whine less

Looks amazing! Hopes it works out for everyone 👍🏻

Wish I could have this, for now electronic will work.

I am guessing that this does not apply for living in condo building ?

This is just like the practice rooms we had in college. In my music department we had these cubicles lined up inside a hall with space between the top of the practice room & the hall’s ceiling. Heavy doors with an audible swoosh of air when closing it. You still heard a little from the outside, but not enough to disrupt an ensemble rehearsal in the next room. A great investment for sure!

This seems great! Did just want to point out though, in response to the comparison with a car driving by, that it's really apples and oranges -- a beat composed of short attack-heavy hits is far more distracting and attention-grabbing than the (nearly) white noise of a car driving by, which more easily fades into the background unnoticed

You can further Quiet your Booth by treating the Ceiling of the garage with Moving Blankets or real Corning 703 or both. The Neighbors will appreciate you.

Hello and thank you SO much for your videos. I'd invite you to lunch if I could, but I can't so...... I'm a pro/full time guy, but enough with the humblebrag. I'm been hesitating to redo a bedroom because of all the things you've talked about in your videos. Congratulations on finding a used Whisper Room, they're the best ( and most expensive) solution. Question... What's your opinion of a ClearSonic portable iso room , the padded acrylic panels ? Otherwise known as the Shield of Shame .. Thanks for all your videos and continued success to you..

First time I heard of these things they were called kill boxes lol

Lol this thing is over $23,000 and that's before tax and shipping! They're crazy, I can buy a car for cheaper, this is literally just a booth.

if you have to make it have no sound you can put a bit of sound dampening in the garage walls

@jeffrandalldrumming the model you have is it the single or double wall configuration?

I think the only realistic solution for drum kit noise is an underground bunker

Great Video Jeff, you put a lot of awesome information in it. I also have a WhisperRoom, only 5x5 😅 double thick. Bought it during Covid so I could do online drum lessons. They are really amazing. Again thanks for the great video

odery drum? is it a brazilian reference?

Great content very well done

PERFECT. exactly what I was looking for with the enhanced room. Many thanks.

I think if you insulted that garage door you would about have it done.

That is thin sheet metal. Cheap easy addition.

You usually want your final mix around 96 db give or take 10db, I did this whole experiment where I played all my favorite songs on different speakers and cars and found at around 96db you do not have to play with the volume knob, you definitely start wanting to turn the volume up or down after that 10db margin so at 80db your finding yourself turning it back up.

thank you for this research!!

Of all the drum influencers, you are "way ahead"! Super professional, very personable and modest in the best sense! Bravo!

My wife wants me to get one of these for my electric kit!😅

Doesn't it get stuffy in there?

Great video. Do you know if this has the standard or enhanced (double) walls?

The company that produces these things is using this video on their website (as an embed). That's pretty freaking cool!

Did anyone catch if the total outer dimensions were shared? edit: found in another video, 8’8”x12’2”.

Very interesting. Great production quality and informative. Subscribed

You're featured on their website!

Your lessons, your whole channel is done with a huge amount of skill and it's really a pleasure to see you get the things you need to 'upgrade' your studio. Great drumming skills too, really enjoy how you make learning so accessible. Your daughter is going to be a drummer isn't she? :))

Mr Jeff Is it possible making a leg exercise video? My hands are getting so much better that my leg is really dragging behind. Kindly make a leg exercise as well. Thank you im advance🙏

Being inside that soundproof booth inside your garage… does it get hot? I can imagine being in there during summer being like a sauna.

This thing costs $25K... let them bring the cops ;)

Can you share the size and spec of this boom :) thanks

Top drawer content as usual 👍
Thanks Jeff 🙏🇬🇧

I'm getting "Man tired of arguing who just wants to enjoy his thing." vibes. Hope this excellently crafted video helps in more ways than one. Keep up the great work!

Hey Jeff, thanks a ton for putting this up. There is no fail proof solution provided by any other videos. All the DIY and hacks are not at all working for our set at our apartment. Especially vibrations can't be controlled unless it is a double room or a cabin with air gap between the solid walls. After a several failed attempts, I'm planning to get the similar thing done. I'm planning to get a 7Feet by 6Feet, just enough and a bit more room for acoustic drum set alone. Would it bee too small to play for longer time? If possible please share the size of this cabin?

I was about to go the route of the "soundproofed" Pergola Gazebo because of a comment on the Soundproof Your Studio channel. .. will still try that haha.

Is this single or double wall model ?
