Relocating my drums/recording stuff to the garage

[DrumheadPirate]

Thank you for sharing this Jonathan. Can't wait to see the progression and finished project.

Since you're doing a 'room within a room' I assume that room will have a floating floor on top of that slab.

Absolutely. Floating floor laying over some acoustic material. Concrete is apparently pretty poor at dissipating low fequencies, so we're trying to mitigate transmison of vibrations from the floor to the outside walls.

wires, wires, everywhere!

I've listened to enough Maiden as a kid to get where that came from

Can't wait to have the whole thing finished and ready to set my stuff up in... Yeah! I've given the go to my contactor neighbor on this almost a year ago and it's just starting now. But once started, it won't take months to complete.

Most of the Sonopan has been ffixed to the ceiling. I thought we could gain a bit of height by modifying the trusses of the roof, turns out we can't so we will still maximize everything so I can get 8 feet. Wich isn't ideal but still liveable/useable.

I've received all the acoustically dampening exterior doors, tomorrow the guys come to install them. And the isolation guy comes to blow some acoustic wool in the roof.

Is that the look of approval from the project manager there?

This rather is the look of "sir' are you 100% sure I can't chew on that delicious-looking green panel?"

Of course they would! I'll first see the construction through and figure out where I'm at budget-wise once it is done. These types of projects always seem to generate a lot of "surprize costs".

Thanks!

Yeah! I used to do amateur motocross races. There's a big compound 10 mins from my house that was developped and operated by a very good buddy of mine.

Since my musician's schedule gave me plenty of free time during the weekdays, I ended up training (and being friends) with most of the pros that were there training for their championship. During the winter months we'd riide indoors and even drive down to Georgia/Florida to go to training camps.

Fun times.

I eventually got sick of the grueling maintenance schedule, the spartan training regimen and the physical and financial toll this whole thing took on me.

Same as with drums, I had come at it late-ish in life tto fulfill a childhood dream. Once I had proven to myself that I could do it at a certain level, I felt it was time to "retire" while my body wasn't too badly beat down.

But the main reason is that a helmet won't fit over your hair anymore .

Where we're at today: exterior doors are done, so is the outside window. framing for the "inside box" is also done and inner insulation is under way. The electrician should finish the wiring by the end of the day.

So cool. I notice the project manager is strangely absent. Too much chewable green stuff around I suppose.

big day today: as the room was cleaned up to prepare for the flooring and wall membrane and wood panelling that start monday, I decided to take advantage of the space this weekend and test drive the new console I just bought.
