A Floated floor is not a need (in all cases) if you are cutting drums, I;d consider it. If you are near an area with a busy throughfare, I'd consider it. All the other questions you ask (How to's) are answered in the construction forums

thanks for your help giles.:) i think im gona go with the floor do you think 2-3 cm of neoprene? will do it thaen over this wooden laminate?

There are some basic defined methods of floating a floor. just laying down a sheet of neoprene is not effective as a floater. works good as a resonance dampener. keep doing your research. I believe aaron has a long thread on his studio build with very good deatails of his floated floor.

thanks for all your help :D cheers.
