Room Suggestions

I've two options for recording drums in my next session. I have two rooms in my house which I can use, but Im not sure which one to go for. Normally I use a room- recentangluar shape, high ceilings (20-25ft), completed carpeted- the room sounds pretty dark, and dead as far reverb. My other option- which I've never tried because its a living room- is a recentangular shaped room with wood flooring, 12-15ft tall ceilings, kinda long. Just wondering if you think the wood flooring and shorter ceilings will give a better sounding room? Thanks for your help!

Its pretty simple really! Record some drums in the room and see how they sound!

Aloha and welcome to the forum! :D Any chance you could please:

Edit your profile to include your location. This is very important, because this is a worldwide resource, and as such, material costs and availability vary widely. For example, masonry is cheaper than gypsum in some parts of the globe, whereas it's the exact opposite in other regions.

You'll probably get more of a response by doing so and this will really come in handy two or three posts down the road. It's also part of the forum guidelines. Thanks! :wink: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7572 http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3231 What kind of drum sound do you/your clients prefer? As noted, perhaps try a session in the living room. You may find you can use both, depending on what your project requires. Aloha 8)
