Hi all,
Ive lived in an apartment for 2 years and use headphones with a Roland TD1 for 'practise at home' (mesh heads - rubber cymbal pads). I alternate between a Yamaha Stage Custom and Ludwig Breakbeats acoustic depending on gig requirement (size etc).
Recently - a 'noise disturbance' was put in after I took some time off work and was practising 3-4 hours a day at home on the electric kit. The practise was during the day (business hours) and is the first time Ive had such an allegation regarding noise. My partner tells me she does not have any issues with the noise (aside from light tapping) whilst a room away. I just have a standard rug under the electric kit and felt beater on the kick pedal.
My query relates to the potentially looking at replacing the electric kit with dbOne mesh heads and LV cymbals on another kit to try and eliminate any noise complaints. My partner suggested some rubber mats potentially under the rug? and maybe some acoustic panels?
Just wondering what suggestions you may have in helping me with some acoustic improvements?
