Drum Sound Flooring
I want to know if there is an intelligent makeshift way to soundproof the floor to minimise the noise of the kick drum.
Drum sound flooring. Drum silencers are made to measure rubber pads that sit on your acoustic drums and cymbals. Use bass traps to deal with drum bass. A very simple solution to reduce the transfer of noise through the floor is to make sure that your drum is sat on rubber mats or a purpose made rug. If your drum is sat on a bare uncarpeted floor then the vibrations will travel straight into the floor below your housemate or downstairs neighbour won t thank you for that.

The problem is they don t feel anything like playing a kit without pads the drum sound is anything but drum like and the noise reduction is partial at best but you can. However there is a way to deal even with this type of noise.
Whatever soundproofing methods you might employ chances are you still will have trouble with the sound of the bass drum.
