Ya knows, a floor plan might help in deciding which walls to hide the bodies.

I mean, speakers, yeah, that's the ticket.

Ok, I'll put it out there...

Your drawing isn't enough to go on. We need something that gives a proper relationship between walls and doors/windows and immovables (plumbing lines, HVAC, etc.). Yours has no scale to it, the closet appears to be sticking into the room, has no dimensions to it, one window is... a line? ... and the other is a box also hanging into the room.

Windows and doors should be drawn as part of the wall. Even with pen and paper, you can get the job done...

so that it's clear where they are in relation to each other and the corners.

Or you can go all out and do it using some sort of planning software. Some folks use Excel, others Photoshop or Illustrator.
For example, kev did this one up at a freebie site:
New floorplan | powered by Floorplanner.com (http://www.floorplanner.com/projects/20097580-new-floorplan)
and it helps everyone get a good sense of the space.

Measure where everything is mark it down in some way. The effort up front to plan it right is definitely worth it.

Ego Data Point: my floor plan is hit number 4 and number 20 when Googling "man cave floor plan" 8)

Please help me

help #1: Burn the Kentucky shit

help #2: Put as much Rush stuff in the cave, as it will increase the awesome factor exponentially. Since you are a drummer, this should go without saying, but you asked for the help.

Glad I could help ya out.

Why does the man cave decor need to be split up? If you love both so much why is a line down the middle needed? You could decorate the entire room with your UK passion and once that is complete decide which side or corner you would like to set up your drums.

Some people have built in additional insulation or acoustic dampening into the floor, ceilings, or walls to reduce the bleed-through noise in the rest of the house.

Are you considering things like a pool table, stand-up video games, big screen TV, stereo, or space for friends to bring over their instruments to jam with you? Do you want to do any kind of special lighting? Do you want to showcase a particular "gem" in your UK collection? Do you have any vintage drum stuff like a autographed cymbal from your favorite band? Sometimes it's good to keep that stuff on your planning list to make sure you leave adequate space for the most treasured items.

I have been planning my man cave for about a year and a half and the project just started about three months ago. I have drawings and sketches and lists all kept in a folder so I can keep track of all my ideas both good and bad.

Good luck with your man cave!!

So is this room 20 by 40 or 30 by 60? If you are renting, I assume you don't want to (or Can't) make major changes correct? Start by cleaning it all out getting rid of anything that you don' need. It is hard to have a man cave and also use it for storage. Make a closet if you have stuff that you must keep.

You can't make more change for less money than using paint. Get rid of the white walls!
