What are some ideas for noise reduction while drumming in a home?

Author: admin Category: Noise Reduction

Preferably not too expensive but all suggestions welcome.
The sad truth is that you really can’t soundproof a spare bedroom in a frame house.. at least, not CHEAPLY and not without STRUCTURAL CHANGES.
