I have my own system inspired by Captain Beefheart’s drummer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpHgG4jILa0 I use a pair of XL Depends which are quite effective in absorbing room reflections! |
Best Capt. B. vid I've seen. *G* Eric, y'know, overall you're one of the most thoughtful posters here on AG...and I really appreciate your presence, but with this suggestion expecting 'us' to not crack wise and get goofy on you....*shrug* I'm pretty 'odd', granted, but I'd stop short on it. If I followed through on your suggestion, my spouse would call the guys with that long-sleeved coat with the straps and buckles...after 35ish years, she's way tolerant of me, but I know when to NOT do 'something'. *L* Room treatments, sure. Bedroom disassembly, Nooooo..... |
@asvjerry Thanks so much. I don’t really mind it, but I do worry so many will pile on and discredit an important idea. The same people who will spend endless quantities on fuses and quantum room purifiers are sometimes exactly the same that refuse to consider room acoustics at all. I think that the pillows on the floor is a really good _experiment_ (not installation) because you can hear a change in tonal balance happen, despite them not being in direct line of reflections. As others have pointed out, the sound we perceive is not like light from a laser beam. How quickly and smoothly different bands in the room decay has a major influence on how we perceive the smoothness of the frequency response. It's a very inexpensive, and temporary (unless you have a very large dog) experiment. :) Best, E |
