I have a home studio with floors covered in carpet. I am building a drum
riser and can either cover it in ceramic/stone (very porous looking, much of
the tile is covered in holes, which are filled when grouted) leftover from a
house project, or just buy hardwood. Presuming flutter echo isn't an issue
with the ceiling and room, would ceramic sound as good or better then
hardwood? The usual close mic'ed rock drum sound.
