Hello guys. This are the pics of my room to give u guys a visual of what it looks like. It is located at the attic of my room. and now i really want to soundproof or deadening it because my neighbors really complains about the drums being so loud. Sorry for the Drumkit. I wasnt be able to play it for a long time and it was stuck like a junk. hehe. I really want to be able to soundproof my attic or to minimize the noise coming out of the room.
My attic has a wooden floor and wooden ceiling as u can see. It is kinda small just barely enough for a standard drumset to fit. There is a small glass window located at the left side. I would consider putting a reinforced cover on the hole on the opening of the stairs. If this room can still be soundproofed, i will be using those foams that can be bought in a DIY shop. Need your advise guys about this room, if it still can be done.
sorry for posting manypics.

Where are you? I assume you're on the same planet I am.

If your cymbal is any indication, you play loud.

Plugging holes, sealing, and putting doors over large gaps will certainly reduce the noise to other spaces.
Drums will still be heard, just a bit quieter.
Other possible sound paths:
a) transmission through the floor (a drum platform might help a bit)
b) HVAC - heating and return air ducts
c) transmission through walls and ceiling
d) flanking
e) doors and windows, including seals
Another way to go is to make the receiving rooms noisier to mask the sound, by asking them to turn on a radio.
Absorbtion on the walls will not improve soundproofing.
Thin absorbtion on the walls won't help your drum in-the-room acoustics.
BTW, the absorbtion coefficients for egg crates can be found here

Thank you guys for the reply. Very useful link indeed.
and z60... yeah i play loud on the drums and using a 5b stick thats why the cymbals was totally wrecked in a half. actually that was already 5 yr old planet z cymbal, not a very tough cymbal though.
I will be upgrading my cymbal set as soon as i have finished with minimizing the noise in the room first.
