Whats the best way to soundproof a drum practice room?

[purest]

cant you get an electric drum kit for practising?

Hello Friends........

try a material called Homasote .

Thanks

Thick carpet is a good insulator for sound. Why don't you cut a square or rectangle of it and place it underneath the drum kit and line any adjoining walls with carpet as well if you're not bothered about the aesthetics!

There's really decent soundproof material available (it is basically foam eggboxes, but meter by meter sheets of it), if you layer stuff called dyno-mat behind it, you will barely be able to hear anything. The sound proof is cheap, but the dyno-mat is expensive, but the best.

Egg carton boxes? It seems to work for my friend...

Did you get anywhere with this yet? My brother puts blankets in his bass drum and has these little blue gel pads that stick on the batter head of the drum and they deaden the sound, but you still feel like you're playing a normal kit.

Well if you are planning to get your room sound proof, then you might need a help of an engineer to do so. And I do agree with one of the comments above that egg boxes are really good example of sound proofing.
