The way you diligently build, compose, and edit everything in harmony is so satisfying. I had to replay the rhythmic stapling edit several times... It just hit so good!

[@rickmetal80]

99% youtubers would say (See? Just perfect!!!, Full Absorption) and Brandon says (Still pretty Bad, but it's better) just, honest about things, that's why i like your videos, Honest and real, like normal people like us. Thanks for your honest, real world, real issues in life and drums videos.

[@theguy4361]

To get it almost 2 times more efficient, let a 2 to 4 inches gap between the wall and the insulation. It helps a lot

[@blasstois]

I felt those knee cracks when you squat down my man. I’m right there with ya.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Hahaha I was going to put a little “pop” text effect in there but forgot to. 😂 literally every time I squat down…

[@8020drummer]

It doesn't matter if Brandon talks about drums, video editing, or how many inches are in different things... I love it all)) Thanks man!

[@bwbond007]

Great video as usual Brandon, but can't believe you handled that fiberglass without any PPE! Can't wait for your bare-handed cactus pruning videos!😬

[@Toshfunk]

Amazing work Brandon! Just one critique: if you make it so the panels stand-off the wall by a couple of inches you can double their absorption efficiency :)

[@BrandonScottDrums]

OMG.... I should've done this... I might actually do that. THANK YOU!

[@jonathanreddish8590]

also, double thickness on the insulation...

[@saidseco5574]

You are probably one of the best editors on youtube

[@michelguyfortin]

One of those same panel hanging from the ceiling is going to help a lot.

That thumbnail is the best thing I've seen in a while!

[@montesleyjacobs8713]

Towels works perfect...for sound panels as well check your nearby salvation army or $1 stores for towels

[@viridian_meridian]

In my old place, I screwed a long, narrow strip of wood to the studs, and then hung an acoustic blanket on that strip. Worked pretty well, and wasn't too bad to patch up when we left... I like that your bottom panels are shelves too. It's a little thing, but it makes them so much more functional!

[@juanemmanuelsalinas2001]

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Thank you! I spend too much time editing and less time posting haha

[@ablackshedd]

Ha ha ha, "Deal with it!", hilarious. Man, you are so handy. The cloud will be sick. Bass traps are great, basically double thick panels in the corners. Also, If you hang the panels with a gap between them and the wall they work better. Much love, my friend. stoked to see you prospering.

[@suffixion_6286]

"I'm not made of money" I love the humility in that statement.

[@erichmetzelaars859]

"When you worked in the wood shop?" Those cleats got me thinking I'm looking at Frank Howarth's excellent channel. You are a source of great inspiration.

[@thedutchdjentleman]

Honestly, a drum isolating platform helped heaps, but I was on the top floor. You could try building a “practice space” with acoustic blankets on rails, so you can close that up when you wanna practice, but open it up when you wanna record video or audio.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

That's a great idea actually!!! Maybe if I hang the rails from the ceiling It would be easy to slide them open and closed kind of like a shower curtain... MIGHT ACTUALLY USE THIS ONE! Thank!!

[@NelliliebtChemie]

Everything about the thumbnail is amazing lmao

[@Nati]

Very nice video ! you are a filmmaker... :D you need more panels and bass traps

[@BetterDrummer]

Yes! Glad to not have another 3 months before a video :) Very nice panels, gonna have to get me some of that action soon. Good luck with those neighbors above, haha! They don't know what's coming.

[@Meirmou]

I'm just glad my neighbors don't mind the drum noise I make maybe because they make the same amount of noise (maybe more) in the daylight, it's peaceful in the night. Goodluck on the war with the noisy neighbors. Love you, Brandon. Stay safe.

[@nanaki18]

Hi Brandon, well done build and video. One other thing beside leaving a gap between wall and panels to get more out of it would be to not set them up paralell on the opposite wall. If you alternate the position of the panels than you don't end up with a space where you still have all the reflections and this is in your case right at cymbal and ear hight. Problem than could be that your one ear gets the full reflections from the one side, and your other ear gets way less reflections. what helps there is to use smaller panels and alternate them but this will not look as good as your 8ft panels, hm

[@thomaskleinhans2384]

Do something in the corners there are a special reflection point in the room! That´ll help a lot! And try to avoid parallel reflections: if there is one with hard surface - reflecting - the other, in the opposite direction should be prepared with a absorbing surface.

[@SimonRileyDrums]

Thumbnail KING👌🏻

I love your videos so much, they just give me some kind of a good feeling. Keep going and greetings from Germany 🤘🏻

"When they drop something, which seems to happen all the time." I feel you so hard on that. Keep fighting the good fight

[@lilromierome]

Acoustic blanket covering the window would be smart…but that window behind the drums is a very nice look 🥲

[@BrandonScottDrums]

I knoooow I'm torn with what to do...

[@connordutoit4524]

open the window, let the drums sing out across the city, acts the same as an absorber

[@THeDrKEvO]

Honestly blackout curtains help a lot with reflections especially if the curtains are long enough to cover the window floor to ceiling and still be “wavy” if that makes sense… Plus curtains are adjustable and more aesthetically pleasing. Though There are still going to be a bunch of reflections unless you really focus on surrounding the whole kit and not just 2 or 3 walls. The little sound foam panels do work for high frequency reflections, they’re just not good at stoping bass frequencies, or sound proofing, The thicker the foam the better

[@tiredmusician4886]

Those are pretty dam good panels. Might just steal those ideas I too live in an apartment and know the pain. I had to build a drum riser to lift my kit off the floor to stop it from causing issues below us. Basically 2x pieces of MDF board with holes drilled in them and tennis balls separating them to keep. looks like its on its own stage

[@PhuongLe-id4mn]

You're so overboard with editing. I like it.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

I hate it. It takes forever but I can’t help but do it…. 😭

[@DennisBergDrums]

Bass Traps! You need Bass Traps. Its incredible how much of a difference they make. Put as much of them as you can in the corners. I even measured the difference with a special mic and software. Incredible!

[@georgefog8380]

Thats great, thank u for sharing everything u do, i love to wath yor videos. Studio panels really works, u should get it in a corners to get rid of low frequencies. And of course more on walls and ceiling)

[@drbobinski1]

I have dealt with the "curse of being a drummer" for years. Had a pretty nasty fist fight with a retired librarian once. Book smart. Just bought a new townhome in 2019 and lo and behold my neighbor, who I share a wall with, went into CoVid shelter in place mode two months later. So I bought a Roland TD17. Not the best solution but she hates my tapping a little less than my acoustic. I told her if she wanted to live in solitude she should move to suburbs. She disagreed and had the entire neighborhood and my association slapping expensive fines on me. I haven't paid any of them or stopped drumming. Later

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Keep fighting the good fight… it’s a struggle for us all.

[@opiedrums]

I missed the staple gun lining up with bass hits. That's attention to detail right there.

Glenn had a great tutorial how to build bass traps on the cheap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mou5Xpqui9Wefc0 . I think with bass traps in the corners you will improve the situation quite a bit. Also think about sound dispersion not only absorption. You could maybe build panels consisting of roof laths cut to different lengths (5, 10, 15, 20cm) and glued together. Like a 3D spectrogram. This is also a great idea how to build a bass trap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGaVqp2pnLSij6s
