Re: [DTXpress] Upsetting the wife!!

2001-05-13 by Jules Freeman

Hi Andy,
I had the same problem, in the end I placed the kick drum tower on a large piece of thick
foam while letting the kick drum pedal rest on the floor for stability. the whole tower tends
to float around a bit but the noise through the floor was greatly reduced, and I soon got
used tothe set up. I must admit that this is a real DTXpress problem.
Cheers Jules.

Subject: [DTXpress] Upsetting the wife!!

has anyone successfully managed to soundproof their kick pedal so
that other members of the household can watch telly in peace? i have
experimented with several layers of carpets and other cusioning but i
still get complaints from 'er downstairs' - note that i have
headphones on.
i find that my house shakes - or is it that i am just overzealous
with my kicks? i have had to move the kit to a mates while i consider
my next plan of attack.
yours hopeingly
