I have a room in my basement that I would like to use as a practice drum room. I am not going to use the room to record but just to practice. So, I would like to prevent the sound transmission from leaking outside of the room as much as I possibly can afford.

The room is 12'9" long by 7'8" wide and 6'11" high with a small closet (2'4" x 2'8") in the corner (I will post a layout of the room later). The walls are insulated and then sheetrock. I'd rather not knock down the walls if I don't have to, just so I can save money. I am going to carpet the floor and there will be things placed in the room such as speakers, a desk, a dehumidifier, and other things that might help reduce echo.

I was looking into Auralex Sheetblok for the walls and ceiling. But it is expensive, and my friend told me about Audimute which has Peacemaker 6.4mm Anti-Vibration/Isolation Material 2’x25’ http://www.audimutesoundproofing.com...M64000840.aspx and Absorption Sheet http://www.audimutesoundproofing.com...-blankets.aspx .

What is your opinion on what I should do and any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,
Mike
