A run through of the build out to SILVER SPRING STUDIOS. For more information on acoustic panels in studio check out AUDIMUTE! www.audimute.com Subscribe: / @cartermclean www.cdbaby.com/...
What a beautiful room you made out of it! Drum sound and your playing are fantastic. I am a metal drummer but I really appreciate some tasteful dynamic drumming. 👌🏼
BEA-utiful !!! I’ve built several rehearsal and recording studio... I’m guessing you dropped 10-15 G’s on this project. Worth it, for us players anyway. Thanks for the vid 🤩
Hey Carter, where did you get those cymbal stackers you have on the floor??? So much easier to have access and change out setups when their not packed away in road cases and less room involved if you have music store type trees... Thanks man!!! Great video!!!
Are those just guitar stands you have your cymbals on? Why didn't I think of that! That groove at the end reminds me of a Prince song but I can't remember which one. Awesome 👍
@@kevinhartnell2075 - I've been a carpenter for 25+ years and built several quiet rooms like this, including one for a major studio. I've done both with carpeted floors and laminate/wood floors. I'm simply curious as to his decision and how he arrived at it as I prefer carpet.
@@kevinhartnell2075 - Hi Kevin, I've been drumming for almost 30 years (semi-pro for a while) and I get that some players/engineers prefer a more "live" room, but that can be achieved as easily as moving/removing baffles and panels like you said. In my opinion, carpet not only helps soak up ambient audio but helps keep gear in place, is better for dust control, helps absorb vibration and is more comfortable on the feet as I tend to be barefoot in the studio. Just my opinion.
Great stuff, nice overall look and sound treatment. I *think* those wall studs were appear to be installed 16" on center? Any particular reason why 24" on center couldn't do the job? Do those wood acoustic panels affixed to the wall require a shorter stud spacing?
The rolls of sound barrier in the floor most likely acts as a moisture barrier, because it's a rubber sheet over an inch thick, and taped at all the seams.
if you're gonna go through that much work to create a music room why would you not install corner bass traps? Isn't that fundamental to cleaning up the sound of the kick drum?
::puts floor down:: ::plays drums:: ::puts in insulation:: ::plays drums. ::installs dry wall:: ::plays drums:: I love it. A true musician can’t wait. What a dream come true. Also, I think I’m the only person who prefers really live sounds as opposed to polished studio recordings but damn. The jealousy is real
Focus was on sound quality vs acoustic Isolation. With all the absorption there was less sound leaving the space. Peacemaker helped keep the sound off the structure (reduced structural resignation). I don’t believe we even put seals on the door... again...different objective. Glad to help if you have questions... Just reach out. I am so proud of Carter’s outcome!
yeah, it’s expensive. but there are things that a person can do to achieve good results within their respective budget. carter uses the best stuff... all the time. he just doesn’t settle. but there is tons of cheaper stuff you can get to make one of these, even if it’s just in a room in your house. starting with putting a solid core door on the room, you’ll have already eliminated a bunch of noise leakage. watch rDavidr’s video where he sound proofs a room. really interesting stuff.
Two questions: 1) What was the total cost of this remodel? 2) Can you list all of the pieces to the last drum set you played on? Those percussion pieces were SO COOL!!!
Carter you are my no.1 drummer of all time & a total inspiration to me on so many levels,you seem like a great guy and deserve everything good that happens for you. Congratulations on the drumcave! 🇮🇪
In 1997 I wrote my dissertation on 'Converting homes to home studios' Pre internent it was no master piece, but I've always had in mind how I'd love to do it, and watching this was spot on. Stunning room.
Man, that looks so good. It's making me ache to be able to just sit down and noodle around on my drums whenever I want and record music. That crazy little percussion kit you had at the end sounded great, too. And I just noticed your drum room is featured on the Audimute website, how cool!

... every drummers dream is to do this ! lol
I've just finished my drum studio this weekend :)
- OK... It isn't nearly as smart as Carter's...
Yep
It's like a beautiful movie...
My drumset is in my living room and the neighbour and i have a "no bitching about volume" agreement. ^^
The drum dream of a dreamy drummer!
Thats stunning MAN. Well done! HA! That reaction when the flutter was gone! Unbelievable!
This has got to be a dream come true! Congrats on the beautiful and functional studio!
End result is amazing.
Studio builds have become part of the genetics of drummers. Great video and beautiful work!
This room is dream come true
What a wonderful space! Sounds great!
WOW! That's cool! Great sound proofing. Also, love the background music with the Van!
Lucky man! Congratulations!
13:40 and on I go, "Oh! He's not just a good drummer. He's a percussionist." What a nice video! I enjoyed the transformation.
That room sounds amazing! What a fucking result! Clean studio quality drums, solid mixing too
Gorgeous.
Wow, that setup from 13:03 is really nice! That stack of metal sound like a clap.
Congrats, that's a nice sounding room!
I really love this video!! It gives me so much inspiration for my future studio space. Thanks for your work Carter, we appreciate it!
I really want a nice home studio, good studio mate
Nice playing man . Great left hand and dynamics
beautiful
Congrats Carter! It looks great! I've been using Audimute in all my studios for a good 10 years.
You're a lucky man Carter! Brilliant stuff.....
So damn good!!! Every drummer dream!! Enjoy!!
Glad I found your channel. You got those drums sounding so good. Such a clean and crunchy saturated recording.
BEA-utiful !!!

Thanks for the vid 🤩
This is super inspiring. Thanks for sharing!
Love it
very cool - nicely done
jealous it looks so amazing
Great work! And second drum kit sounds amazing!!!
Beautiful project! Congrats!
First Class job! Looks and sounds amazing!
Wow!!
KILLER drum sound
McGreen kit is sounding phenomenal. It would be cool to see how you get such a melodic sound from those drums!
Hell yeah bro!!
Very cool. Very very very cool. I'm sharing with my fellow drum nerds.
'Gets the Headely Grange sound. Robert Plant books studio time. Shows up with All-Star cast.' Hey, we can dream, right? Great work.
haha, awesome. I like how the drum randomly appears in the room throughout the clip.
Your rototoms sound great in that room.
Beautiful! Nice home for a couple of old drums. Lol
wow!.. Very good,
Hey Carter, where did you get those cymbal stackers you have on the floor??? So much easier to have access and change out setups when their not packed away in road cases and less room involved if you have music store type trees... Thanks man!!! Great video!!!

Darn dude. Beautiful space. I could get lost in a spot like that
classic Mitch
Thank You!!!!!! I live for transformations like this space!
13:03 A M A Z I N G kit & groove!
damn thats gorgeous
Great work! Nice room. Inspiring stuff.
Really cool!
Great drumming as always
woow nice job
Beauty Man!
Nice
Hi Carter, question: why did you opt for a wood floor over carpet? Wouldn't carpet help to absorb a lot of ambient noise?
Great playing as always.

Muito legal!
That last beat was sick. I love your set up. What were those cowbell things?
Morfbeats! For those wondering what that is, they make that giant bell with the spring he's playing at the end. www.morfbeats.com/
Great stuff, nice overall look and sound treatment. I *think* those wall studs were appear to be installed 16" on center? Any particular reason why 24" on center couldn't do the job? Do those wood acoustic panels affixed to the wall require a shorter stud spacing?
2:09 start of Freak Out and other songs, could listen 2:24 drum fill longer
How did you address the issue of interstitial condensation between the concrete floor and the new floating floor?
The rolls of sound barrier in the floor most likely acts as a moisture barrier, because it's a rubber sheet over an inch thick, and taped at all the seams.
How many microphones did you use for that last recording at the end ? Sounded awesome !
I want to live there, can i move now?
what an amazing sound! and the studio Ohh my god I loved it! Is there any chance I can sample the last beat you played! The sound was :O ....
Hey what's the groovy little tune at the start?
Nice studio though
Brilliant
Wow
"oh yeah"
if you're gonna go through that much work to create a music room why would you not install corner bass traps? Isn't that fundamental to cleaning up the sound of the kick drum?
The room tuned up so nicely... We omitted them. Bass drumS sound amazing in there!
3:30 Titanic hot scene
how much usd for the entire room treatmeant ???
Hey Dante...This Studio from Audimute would price between $8-10K. Reach out with questions. I'm glad to help.
Quantos metros quadrado tem esse espaço sem o isolamento acústico?
Anyone know where I can find this version of "Into The Mystic"?
Spotify - Jamie Mclean Band (Sound Familiar!?)
I found it deep in the comments but you're a hero anyways
Hey does anyone know the song in the beginning? from 00:00 to 2:08.
Expected you to play Cissy strut at 2:12 haha
Jørgen Fiske fuckin banging tune mate.
Or Freak out
aaaaaaaaaaaa YA ;)
haha
HAHAHHAA HOLY COW...ME TWO! HAHAHA
That bent stack at the end is so cool. Sounds like a clap from a drum machine!
It's the Istanbul Agop Clap Stack, if you're interested.
That phatness at the end got me out of my seat
ikr
Yeah... that floor tom was amazing!
9:55 - Believe me, we could hear it. Amazing how a few well placed panels cleaned that right up. That is a very nice space man. Colour me jealous.

I love it. A true musician can’t wait. What a dream come true. Also, I think I’m the only person who prefers really live sounds as opposed to polished studio recordings but damn. The jealousy is real
Hm, you can have a ”lively” record thats top notch in quality.
that audiomute stuff even looks cool. the sound diffrence is crazy. drum sound is crystal clear.
Shipping is not too bad to UK Reach our if you want a quote.
Who are the 107 bummers who were like "eew, a drummer gets to build a great studio. THUMBS DOWN!"? ridiculous. Great space Carter!
Wow, lockdown would be great with a room like this 👌🏻👍🏻 one of the most laid back creative drummers I’ve seen in a long while 👌🏻👍🏻
Dude what a dream studio. Looks and sounds absolutely beautiful.
I can't think of a more deserving drummer. It sounds absolutely heavenly man. So glad you have been enjoying it. You worked hard for this.
Looks great and sounds great. But I wonder.... what is the sound (level) like in the rest of the house (behind the white door) while you play ?
Paul Westerveld I didn’t design it to be sound proof. I designed it to sound amazing. I don’t worry about bleed.
@@cartermclean You so gangsta
In other words they improved it by +/- 2dB

Carter if it's not too personal what was the cost of the whole project?
I am also wondering🤔
I am also very curious!
Way personal lol but i showed this to my friend who is contractor and estimates around 20k
Hi if you're reading this can you please subscribe to my youtube channel.😃
You could do the work yourself for around $5k I bet.
incredible. how much does something like like cost. 30 k?$
Probably. Not within reach of the average guy.
Plus the house, additional $350k.
Plus this is in Ridgefield, so about $900k

" Fun, but not for recording ".... I beg to differ.
A nice sample for break beats..👍
Congratulations! Looks killer. Excited to hear more recordings from the new place.
I love it! Wow… It really turned out as you wished, I hope? Both kits sound amazing and the room really does justice to everything. Onward and upward!
When is that stick going public, I need to try it out!
Carter you are my no.1 drummer of all time & a total inspiration to me on so many levels,you seem like a great guy and deserve everything good that happens for you. Congratulations on the drumcave! 🇮🇪
I was sceptic with that "boing" sound, but u did great job.

Beautiful studio! Can you please tell me what brand of rototoms you are using in this video?
Very inspiring!....Someday....
