spacious jamming studios?

[boiboi]

can anyone recommend a spacious jamming studio with sound barrier around the drums? i'm getting quite annoyed with the cymbal crashing next to my ear in small studio...

spacious? four tones

sound barrier? never to one before

 

[Plastic]

Four tones is quite spacious.

sound barrier is the drum shield.

similar to this:

and no, havent been to a studio which features a drum shield as one of their equipment.

bro, a drum shield's main purpose is to isolate the drum sound from others, and is used mainly in recording or live shows where the drums are mic-ed up. So im pretty sure there wouldnt be a jamming studio which features a drum shield.
try ear-plugs instead? they protect ur hearing from ur own amps too

try playing outside the room?not very noisy and spacious too!haha.lol.

yeah four tones, well they do have a smaller room, but truth be told i haven't even been in the bigger room before, but i heard from my bandmate that its huge, now im already accustomed to jamming at beat merchants. although their rooms are not that huge or that small. just nice for a decent jamming session.

^ he speaks the truth.

my biggest complain is the unnecassary snare buzzing. i hate it when my snare buzzes for those quiet soft parts. i mostly switch it "off" but not every song allows the freedom to switch on/off the snare...

next biggest complain is the quality of crashes provided. sick of paiste 101s everytime. unfortunately, they sound decent only in small studios, but that's where the snare buzzes the most unnecessarily.

i need a spacious studio with good drum hardwares!!!

sidmontu: this guy who delivered my previous kit and helped set it up last time told me if i wanted to get rid of the unnecessary snare buzz, just put a piece of piece in between the reso and the snare wire. i've never tried it before, but thought it might help?

about crashes, you might wanna bring your own crashes along next time? the reason why studios dont have that good cymbals in their setups is cos of those young punks who whack hard hard without a care in the world. my friend's studio has a sabian xs20 setup and recently the ride and crash cracked up cos apparently this young emo guy anyhow whack whack whack.

note: the xs20 setup was there not more than 6months.

I guess many studios are facing this same problem of drummers damaging the cymbals. It's due to improper techniques used. How can we prevent cymbals from being damaged? Studios cant possibly ban ppl from coming or monitor them closely rite?
Studios cant also tell drummers how to hit the cymbals. Wat's ur view?

Actually I think studio owners can support the bands by educating them. Give them tips and tricks they will find interesting that can improve the way they play. It's also a service and if you approach them friendly, they'll be more than happy to come again.

maybe put up a poster or something like that.
