Mon, 17 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This is a bit of a different type of post… At my son’s school, the piano in the music class had a few issues, and I went “on a quest” to fix it :-) This post is a collection of what info I needed to get this done, written down here, just in case someone is looking for the same info.

Mission accomplished! The finished drum booth.

To work out my box-in-a-box I needed two types of materials: something “fluffy” for the walls, and something “strong” to carry the floor.

What do you get if you combine a drum-playing son and a father who doesn’t like to spend thousands of euros? A DIY drum booth! ;-)
