I'm a new member and enjoying reading through the wealth of info on the site. I'm looking to purchase my first edrum set, or maybe even DIY it.
I figured I'd share a link to a source for acoustic and damping foams that I've used in car audio for some time. They have different sized rolls and thicknesses of many great foam compositions, one of the best I've found is the neoprene. Its an excellent decoupling and dampening material.
Anyways, here is the link...hope it is useful to some of you fellas
Oh, and the best part is they are relatively cheap
On a side note, living in an apartment I've found that putting a layer of neoprene under my tower speakers and sub (I also use Alesis Monitor Two's) really helps to decouple the speaker cabinets and stands from the floor. IE- It doesn't transfer vibration and helps to reduce sound penetration to the neighbors below, which is always a good thing.
