Measures to reduce room vibration caused by drumming

Apr 11, 2024


Drums generate large vibrations when played, which can be transmitted to surrounding rooms and buildings. This vibration is often a problem, especially when playing in housing complexes. However, by taking appropriate measures, vibration can be greatly reduced and drummers can enjoy playing drums in a comfortable environment. Below are some measures that can be taken to reduce room vibration caused by drumming.



  1. Use of soundproof mats:.

    Place a special soundproof mat under the drum set to reduce vibrations transmitted directly to the floor. Thick mats or mats made of special materials with excellent vibration absorption properties are effective.

  2. Building a floating floor:.

    A more serious solution is to build a "floating floor" in the area where the drum set will be installed. This creates a space between the floor and the drum set so that vibrations are not transmitted directly to the floor. Since this requires specialized knowledge, it is recommended that professional installation be requested.

  3. Use of Vibration Absorbing Pads:.

    Installing vibration-absorbing pads under drum pedals and stands is also effective. Even small pads can be effective in reducing direct vibration transmission.

  4. Electronic drums considerations:.

    Finally, one option is to switch to electronic drums. They produce less vibration than acoustic drums and offer volume control. If playing feel is important, there are also special electronic drums on the market that allow you to feel the vibrations.


By combining these measures, room vibrations caused by drum playing can be greatly reduced, allowing you to enjoy playing without disturbing your surroundings. Let's improve the environment for practicing at home and enjoy a better drumming life.
