It has looping built right in so I can loop pieces of tunes to get through them correctly, and can also play them at half speed for learning. I play this thing at all hours of the night through headphones.. great for practice.

The TV is for watching drum DVDs and for the kids Xbox. My beloved LP is also in the pics. I love her. That classical guitar is a little $100 cheap plywood thing that is my "beater", that amazingly holds it's tune for weeks on end and sounds pretty good.

Here's my world:

Nice setup I like the groove essentials poster I have that DVD too. Gotta love tommy igoe

Oh its all good, I'm not a big dude so it works great for me after 13 years of playing drums I've been through many a strange setup! hehehe...

[k for kaos]

here's my wisdom basement cave. 1.5feet of cement blocks.. i just went over my monthly flickr upload limit so here are the only pics -__-

where i like to be, there is a shelf behind the kit with a lot of useful stuff in it(music, tools, hardware, drinks, headphones, acoustic headphones, speakers, metronome, etc)

other side of theroom, couch, laptop w protools and audacity, its a pretty ghetto(but effective) set-up.

That's a great location you have there Jeff. Sadly my teaching space is not as nice or well equipped. I was going to take a pic now but the digital camera seems to have vanished from the counter???

Part of my Roland TD-9 that I use to practice at our college apartment. Just decided to put the hi-hat pad right in front of me after watching this last night. Its such an ergonomic set-up, and makes it easier for me to play open-handed and work on my (weaker) left hand.


After putting the Sonor bass beater in the DW 5000 pedal, it hits much lighter and causes less noise. Also I put some shirts I've outgrown over the snare and bass pads to protect them and create even less noise.

[BillBachman]

Hats in the center is the way to go!

Here's my latest wisdom woodshed, "The Demo Den" in Pompano Beach, Fl. My bands jam here and record our stuff.

Wow dude,
your kit truly looks like an evil monster with that finish and all those spikey hardware angles and stuff. I think it's the scariest kit I've ever seen. Pretty cool :)

[drthemez]

This thread is great, i dont have any pics but i thought youd all appreciate this. My first band when i was in high school turned my best friends room into the band room and moved his bed and everything out. He slept on a couch from about 10th grade to his senior year, now thats dedicated!!

[JoeGillDrummer]

My practice space (a room within a room in my garage), the amps and microphone are because the room is also used for my band. The practice room was built a year ago on a small budget, reject carpet tiles bought online for 20p each, that sort of thing. I am very happy with the room, the size, the look, the sound and had no complaints from the neighbours!

Joe

PS. We did actually fork out for acoustic foam and sound board plaster board along with the other budget methods. Works a treat!

[jfrey]

Hey all, new here and new to drumming in general. Thought I'd show what I'm working with. I managed to set up a nice little practice nook in the apartment I share with my girlfriend.

[MrCartoonfox]

I'm also new! : ]

Here's my new kit that just moved in. I'm standing on my bed to take the photo!

[Cephalic]

well, here's what i got. not the best pictures, but maybe once it's all done i'll take some good pictures.


so, it's my basement. we're slowly converting it into additional "living space." already heated. we re-did the floors, added a drop ceiling...


...and just painted two walls. i don't have any other pics, but this at least shows the color.


last, the drums themselves. lots of work goin on here too, haha.

Jeff,

When you practice drum set with a student, which one of you gets the "good" set?

[The Gedge]

Got both an acoustic and an e-kit. E-kit's in my bedroom, a-kit's in a spare room of the house.

Here is my little dedicated space. It is fairly sound resistant. Floors walls and ceiling done, 2X6 packed with Roxul, 1 inch of blue styrofoam, drywall both sides and a layer of carpet. Door is about 10 inches thick and seals well.

[Vegas Island]

Here's mine. Freshly painted and decorated.
