Hey everyone, im in need of some advice on ventilation for a small drum booth. The booth fits a small kit very comfortably and I have it sounding great but I have only been tracking guitars in there and I fear that once I drummer gets in there he will suffocate after a couple takes (not literally, but figuratively).

I have a mini split for the control room that I got oversized as to ensure it will never have to work very hard to cool the room down. I have thought about just installing some inlet/outlets with small fans to circulate the air, I have also looked into getting another small minisplit for the booth...im not convinced of either of those ideas.

Any suggestions?

the booth is just under 50sqft

"installing some inlet/outlets with small fans "

is your best bet. Or you can leave the door open when recording drums.


cheers

As John said, you can totally circulate the booth air back into your control room. But, does your control room have fresh air in/stale air out system in place to ensure you're getting fresh air into the room?

Been doing some more research, and I agree with you both. The air in/out with small fans seems like my best bet.

Thank you both!
