New to forum. Redoing drum/recording room. Question...
Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2003 4:55 am
Hello all. Gearslutz directed me here...
I will be redoing my drum/recording room soon. I wanted to ask about the walls, and about my intentions for the floor.
The room is about 12 by 14', and has cement on two sides. Faux wood paneling lines this cellar room right now, which i hate, and intend either to cover over with drywall or tear down and put up drywall.
My main complaint about the room right now is that it is very uninspirational to practice and record drums, because it is so dead. I would like to liven the room. I can always put down throw rugs afterward, if it is too live.
My questions are as follows, and thank you for taking the time to read this:
-If i angled either the sheet rock or plywood (if i use plywood) on two of the four walls in order to prevent parallel surfaces...how would i do this? IN other words, if the dry wall or plywood isn't completely flush with the wall, as it angles outward, then what does the angled part attach to? Are there shims that graduate outward as you go up, that the dry wall is fastened to? (my cousin will be doing the work for me, and is quite handy, so he should understand your construction speak even if i do not).
Thank you again very much,
