  • Question is about how to find a room where we can play with an acoustic drum set. Commented May 6, 2016 at 18:53
  • That wasn't specified in the original question. Also, the question is too specific to your area to provide a definitive answer for you. Proper soundproofing is extremely difficult and expensive. So if you cannot find a space already setup for this or a space far enough a way from neighbors to bother anyone, the only other option is to reduce your band's volume. Then finding a place will be much easier or you could even use your own (or a band mate's) place. As a drummer myself I had to switch to electronic drums for quiet practice a few years ago, so I speak from experience on the noise issue. Commented May 6, 2016 at 19:19
  • Quote from original question: "We use an acoustic drum set, and that's very loud." Commented May 6, 2016 at 20:00
  • What I mean was your edit of "electronic drums are not an option" and you have to practice at full volume. I know you have an acoustic drum set, but my suggestion was to not use it in order to bring the overall volume down. You're looking for suggestions about practice place and not bothering the neighbors but there are limited options here. If you cannot find a space fully soundproofed or far away from neighbors (this depends entirely on the area you live in, which you know better than us) then the only option left is to reduce your band's volume. That will open up more spaces to you. Commented May 6, 2016 at 20:19
