Stage baffles

Any tips on how to fabricate these, it seems simple enough, you take a couple of pieces of plexiglass space them enough to make a hinge work, attach the hinges and drill holes (or not) as needed. Place on stage as needed.

Have I missed anything?

plexiglas corrals you put around your drummer to keep stage volume down...Your manufacturing technique sounds about right...the only thing I can add is...if your drummer is really ugly, get tinted plexi, and make it a couple feet higher

We should've thought of that for our most recent drummer! I'm thinking more of an plexiglas tank filled with water....

Seriously, if it's for the drummer, height has something to do with it as well as the other dimensions. We measured one that another band used that our drummer liked. I can try to find dimensions if you'd like- but it depends on the size of the kit, etc.

And if the corral surrounds the drummer completely, don't make the mistake of putting a latch on the inside -- he's liable to lock himself in... - CS
