The best solution is not to play so loudly in the first place . Years and years of playing loud music has had an adverse effect on many a musician's hearing . As musicians we need to be smart about protecting the most vital aspect of music appreciation ; the ability to hear it ! Drummers can play with restraint and amplifiers have settings below 10 .
(stepping off soapbox)
Have fun and good luck with your new endeavor !]]> Live Sound Diceman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/new-band-3/#post-347505 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/new-band-3/#post-347501 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 08:50:10 +0000
You can get whatever sound equipment suits your needs, sometimes you can find used, and other times you want something specific that you're jonesing for. See your local kijiji - there's so much that you can actually see and get your hands on locally.

You might save a lot of money which is always a good idea - never been a bad idea, unless you don't get the quality you want. My nephew just got a new set of Mapex drums for $1700 from another guy who got fired from a band (it happens) and spent $3800. Do the math. Too many toms and cymbals at a thousand dollars a pound, I mean for the cymbals? :lol:

You can either insulate with real insulation, or soundproofing material, maybe Home Depot or another store would guide you there. It's true that some people use blankets - you can be creative. I always like the sound of another Garage Band. 8)]]> Live Sound Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/new-band-3/#post-347501 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/new-band-3/#post-38413 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:19:08 +0000 Live Sound palmtrees228 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/new-band-3/#post-38413
