Drum Band Room
any good tricks on setting up a cheap home sound studio?
I've got a room about 7x4x3, and I want a set up a room for drums with a band, I head you can use egg cartons for sound proofing if you put them in between the walls. I'm looking for some good tricks like that.
thats actually a bad trick. egg cartons don't the mass required to absorb sound unless its in the band of frequencies between 15khz-20khz. meaning you'll either not absorb sound or you'll color the room by only absorbing certain freq's instead of all of them.
here is a link i made to help people with what you are trying to do. Reading all of them won't hurt but what you are specifically asking for is listed under the heading "acoustics"
also tweakheadz.com has a detailed info about setting up a home studio.

first scroll down to the acoustics secton, then go to tweakheadz. but whatever you do, don't start stocking up on eggs. you need to treat all frequencies evenly and some you need to diffuse instead of absorb. you'll want the drums diagnal in the room. you'll want to iscolate speakers/amps from the floor with foam. th elist is endless. click that link for much information and tips.

Tin Drum $11.99 Japan: David Sylvian (vocals, guitar, keyboards, programming, tapes); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, programming, tapes); Mick Karn (fretless bass, African flute, dida); Steve Jansen (drums, percussion, programming).Additional personnel: Yuka Fujii (vocals); Simon House (violin).TIN DRUM, Japan's fifth studio album, appeared with a cover photograph of a perfectly coifed David Sylvian eating rice from a bowl in a bare room, while a peeling poster of Mao looked on. This image was obviously very deliberately created, and the music on this, their last studio album as Japan, is no less carefully presented. TIN DRUM has been said to be their most "Oriental" album, but it also has equally prevalent Middle Eastern influences, especially in regards to Steve Jansen's percussion. All told, it is probably the band's best single record."The Art of Parties" opens the album with synthesizers twittering around Mick Karn's extraordinary bass guitar. "Talking Drum" features a flute straight from a snake charmer's stall. "Canton' is a propulsive, Asian-flavored instrumental. Arguably, the album's best track is "Still Life in Mobile Homes," a strange keyboard and drum-led song that features Karn at his most inventive. "Visions of China" adds some funk to the beat, while "Sons of Pioneers" is a spectacular drum and bass-driven track that is achingly atmospheric. This is a classic--if you own one Japan album, TIN DRUM ought to be it. |

How to Make Percussion in the Beginner Band More Fun!
Dealing with the percussion section can be the biggest challenge for a band director, particularly in the elementary band situation. It can be very tough to get them all engaged and enjoying the rehearsals, particulary if the director themselves is not a percussion specialist.
Don't let them be "drummers" only - be "percussionists" instead
This is the most important thing to realize - that band students are often attracted to percussion so that they can play the drum set. The drum set (or drum kit) is often used in the school band, and often is very important, so students feel that if they are not playing it they have to sit there and wait.
The band director has to find a way around this situation - if you only have one drummer, then great! They can play the drum kit and away you go.
The issue can happen when you have multiple drummers in the band, sometimes two, four, eight or ten! One way that works very effectively and has been used for many years is to have one player playing snare drum, one playing bass drum, and one cymbal player, even if you have a "drum kit" part written out. If you have this type of band I recommend having this setup at all times, and making the students stand up to play the snare drum. You then have the cymbals and concert bass drum, and its designed to be played by three players all the time.
Have an Auxilliary Percussion Table - and make them stand up to play at all times
There is nothing worse than vaguely hearing a shaker or tambourine in a school band, and struggling to see the person sitting on a chair behind the drummer!
When playing tambourine, triangle or shaker - these instruments are often more critical to the sound of the band than the snare drum or drum set, so therefore they must be taken really seriously.. by the band director as well as by the players.
So always have a "traps" table with everything in easy reach. Its not expensive to set one up or buy one of the available professional models.
The players must always stand up to play, and have their music stand set up so that they can look immediately over it at the band conductor.
Warming up - please don't ignore us!
I've been a percussionist in a school band... there is nothing more frustrating that spending your time sitting in the school band room while you wait for the wind players to tune up and warm up. Often the band director will spend up to half an hour warming the players up - and expect the percussionists to remain quiet during that time.
How to deal with it?
- If youre going to warm up for half an hour.... Tell the percussion section to arrive later than the rest! - it makes no difference to you and its better than them being a distraction!
- Why not send them into a different room for their own section rehearsal during this time? Get a specialist teacher or assistant to work with them on their parts
- Use predefined warm-up routines that go along with what you are doing with the wind players. (doesn't always work, but can do depending on the materials you have)
Be prepared to supplement the band book
When I helped out with beginner bands I found it necessary to supplement the band books that the students were using with additional materials - often the materials are not interesting or they don't have enough variety to keep the students engaged in the materials.
They'll need lots of work on basic rudiments and rolls - often the band books don't address those things early enough. So therefore you may be able to supplement it with other material which is available online and in books.
Everyone playing mallets?
I'm going to leave this up to you - it depends on the different personalities in each of the bands you have. One popular series of band books the "standard of excellence" has snare drum/bass drum on the left hand pages of the book, and mallet percussion on the right. Another type the "essential elements" has one snare drum and one mallet percussion book.
I think that percussionists should rotate and do as much as possible, and if that means that they each need two books, whereas every other member of the band needs only one.. then that's the way it should be!
There are no quick fixes to make percussion better in the beginner band, but hopefully this article can give you one or two ideas that will help!
