Yeah, it's true. Put muffled heads on them.i heard that acrylic drums are louder than other wood drums, and i was going to buy n acrylic set until i heard this, because where i live noise is a big factor.
I agree with this. They aren't going to be THAT much louder.Louder? Not by much. It's not like if you had maple and they didn't complain, and you got acrylic, and all of a sudden they are complaining, I highly doubt that wouldn't happen.
Is that referring to an acrylic drum vs a maple drum, or just a piece of acrylic compared to a piece of maple?Acrylic is 18.876% louder than maple on the Diggler scale.
Is that using a metric Diggler or a standard Diggler?Acrylic is 18.876% louder than maple on the Diggler scale.
Either way, it depends on the calibration of the Johnson Rod used to take the readingsIs that using a metric Diggler or a standard Diggler?
Surely you mean the Dolphin Rut? That's what I use on my scale. Mine is Imperial Martian.Either way, it depends on the calibration of the Johnson Rod used to take the readings
That's purely a misconception. MD magazine commisioned a very scientific study of that topic and found out that it wasn't the drums but the drummers themselves. You see, drummers who use acryllic drums use artificial strokes which tend to be more powerful and produce louder tones. Drummers who play wood use natural strokes and thereby play with more finesse and less volume. So just buy the acryllics but be careful not to use artificial strokes.i heard that acrylic drums are louder than other wood drums, and i was going to buy n acrylic set until i heard this, because where i live noise is a big factor.
Laser holographic I think you'll find. It's quite unique.Well in America, it goes by Johnson Rod.
You have an Imperial Martian Dolphin Rut? Digital or holographic?
So are artificial strokes on maple louder than natural strokes on acrylic? I use virtual strokes at all times when air drumming and it isn't very loud at all. My stick twirls are also much more impressive when I use virtually non-existent sticks after several cocktails....drummers who use acryllic drums use artificial strokes which tend to be more powerful and produce louder tones.
