Hi Gerdy,
First of all, great pedestal! -but I still have 2 questions.
1. Is it really necessary to glue it all together? Isn't it stable enough without the glue?
And
2. Wouldn't this layering improve the noise reduction quite a bit? What do you think about it? Better/worse?
From up to down:
- Drum mat or carpet
- Wooden board
- 6x rubber cuboids, each with 1 slices
- Halved tennis balls
- 6x rubber cuboids, each with 1 slices
- Wooden board
- 6x rubber cuboids, each with 3 slices
- Halved tennis balls
- Old carpet saving the floor against “foot prints” from the halved tennis balls
Is this variation decoupling the drums more without much additional work, or is it just silly and unnecessary?
I'd appreciate your answer.
Thanks in advanced!
Julio
Hi,
I think the following would be better, as it was incredibly effective for me :
From up to down:
- Drum mat or carpet
- Wooden board (I used 22mm thickness MDF)
- 5x rubber cuboids, each near the corner one in the middle
- 5x rubber cuboids, each near the corner one in the middle (yes a second layer)
- Wooden board (22mm MDF again)
- 5x rubber cuboids, each near the corner one in the middle
- 5x rubber cuboids, each near the corner one in the middle (yes a second layer)
- Halved tennis balls, I put three halves on each corner cuboid and 4 on the center cuboid
- Old carpet saving the floor against “foot prints” from the halved tennis balls -> really not necessary on classic floor tiles
I glued everything together using cheap hot glue and a standard gun. Really cheap and effective enough for the matter at hand here.
Cheers!
