My Aussie DIY bass trap project

Posted: Sat May 20, 2006 8:04 am

I've just completed a DIY bass traps project for my home studio.

My problem was that my bass drum and 16" floor tom were either completely dead or too boomy, depending on tuning and placement in the room. Since the standing waves were interfering with the sound-generating surface itself (ie, the drumhead), no amount of close-micing would fix it.

In Australia, RealTraps are not the affordable godsend they are in the US, so I went the DIY route. I am very pleased with the results, and you may view the whole story at www.cloneensemble.com/basstraps.htm
