Drum room: Isolation improvement?

that was sort of what i was thinking since alot of the pictures seemed to have the wood slats all over the walls. im guessing this treatment does NOT create a triple leaf?

You are correct. Andre

well its an interesting concept, though I think im my situation it would be hard to install drywall behind the new studs, since there is the walls in the adjacent rooms to contend with. unless the ENTIRE wall (framing and drywall) was built on the floor, and then raised up.

Exactly. That is, indeed, the normal way of doing it. - Stuart -

can be raised in sections or an entire wall. sometimes making multiple sections is easier although it requires additional materials and some additional labor.

is this something i would see a real benefit in doing? or is this something thats realy left for that pro studio situation? is the benefit realy only in having easy access to wiring?

Another advantage is that it saves you a bit of space: Since the studs are facing the room, you can put some of your acoustic treatment in between those studs: If you had drywall facing the room, then you'd have to put the treatment outside the drywall, using up more interior space. It also saves a little on construction materials: Once again, the studs are right there, in the room, and are able to support your treatment directly. For example, if you need absorption, just fill the stud space with fiberglass, stretch cloth over it, and you are done. Whereas if you had drywall facing the room, you'd have to buy more wood to make a new frame inside the room, to hold the fiberglass and cloth. Etc. There are lots of benefits. - Stuart -

over the passed couple days iv been toying with the idea of putting the drums in the garage. its separated from the house, and i was intending to reno it and do a finished garage in the summer anyway. its big enough to park 2 cars, and still have room for drums because its deeper than a normal garage. my main concern though was obviously safety. though, the garage doors were recently installed by the old owner and they steel doors on automatic openers. my other concern was wintertime. i was planning on putting in a radiant heating system of some type so i could work in there while its cold out, so then i guess id also be able to use the drums in there. though, im not sure if salty snow melting off the cars would get salt into the air and it might do damage to the drums? i have a very high end kit and i wouldnt want it being damaged by something silly like that. any thoughts?
