difference from these two yamaha kits?

Dustin07

can anyone tell me if there is a difference between these?
advantage

advantage fusion...

I'm almost done with my "music room" and when it's complete I'm going to sell my electrics and get another acoustic set I think. Right now I'm just shopping.

The difference is the fusion one has fusion drum sizes. The standard one has 12x10, 13x11, and 16x6 toms. The fusion has 10x9, 12x10, and 14x12.

well right now it's still covered in tools and half the walls are insulated and sheet rocked. We took an old 1 car garage that was ready to be knocked own (I could sway the whole building just by pushing on it) and poured a concrete slab under it (we lifted the building) then re-framed the whole structure, lowered it... framed in a man door and window where the 1 car garage door used to be.

then we went through and ran tons of electrical, added the insulation, and now we're at the sheetrock point.

The funny thing is, we started house hunting this last week... doh. so chances are I'll be moving before it's finished and will never get to enjoy it. oh well.

heh, how long did all that take? And roughtly how much did you spend doing it? I have to use my garage to store and play my drumset also, and it has no insulation, no electricty and is right next to a path, away from the house....probably the worst place to keep a drum set. I have to use silencer pads too, which are annoying! Twisted Evil

I feel for you. I have an electric set (i think I mentioned) Yamaha DTXpress. as is the point of this thread, It leaves me yearning my acoustic kit that I only get to play on Saturdays (it's at our bass players house).

I think we're into the project for about $1500 or so. It's cheaper than you'd think if you do it yourself. It just adds up with all the little stuff.

I think we got the concrete slab for like $500-700... just the cost of materials because my father-in-laws neighbor is a retired concrete guy.

The insulation ended up being about 1/8th of what I thought it would be. I'm using R-13 in the walls and the building is 21ft long by 10ft wide (bigger than a bedroom!) and I think I'm into the insulation for around $100-200. I still need to do the ceiling though.

The sheetrock, I think we chose 1/2", is around $8/sheet (4'x8') and I'll need a total of probably 15 sheets.

Plus we've had to buy a lot of lumber (we basically reframed it from the inside out because there was so much rot)

PUt in two nice vinyl windows, but both were free because my father in law had them laying around. The new man door was free because he just did a hoem remodel and this door came off his old entrance.

The electrical is cheap... but expensive because copper prices have really jumped in the last two years (I sale copper cables for a living... lol)

and then the little amenities.. we added a couple decorative lights to the exterior (look fancy, but only $9ea at Home Depot).

Oh, and ALL New Siding!! Best part. we did it ourselve for about $450 using hardiboard planks (I think that's what it's called. It's some kind of concrete form of lap siding) it looks awesome.

I'll try to post some before and afters later of what actually is done thus far.

oh yeah, and we framed in a little in-wall electric heater for about $100. but I need to get a thermostat for it.

this thing is a beast now. It used to be in knock down condition, now we call it "The Castle".

wow, sounds like it was well thought out, congratulations

thanks

It actually just started as "reframe and concrete slab"

then there was the new windows... new door... sheetrock... hey if we're going to sheetrock, we should insulate. Hey if we're doing the insulating, why don't we put in a heater... LOL

it started the last week of Jan and we thought we'd be done in 3 weeks... ahaha, typical project.

my band actually completely renovated the garage at my old rental property. We convinced the landlord to pay for materials if we did the work ourselves. It went from being completely unfinished with one wall falling in on itself, to being pretty damned awesome! Here are a few pics and even a video of the Mural we painted Very Happy
