  The only thing that would complete this show off would have been a camera/mic pov from the next room… so far great job man!<br> best of luck for you practice 🙌🏼

  Have you thought about a “blanket rack” and DIY wall acoustics around your kit to deaden the sound? Your recording sounded echoed like there’s a lot of sound bouncing around the room. Maybe capture some of that would be what you were looking for.

  This video was great, thank you for doing the comparison! &nbsp;<br><br>I have soundoffs, which I like, but they robbed me of too much tone (especially on the low tom). &nbsp;My current solution is to use quiet cymbals with a moon gel on them, helps to cut down the brightness and volume a bit. &nbsp;Using the db ones for the toms, and a double ply mesh head for the snare since I didn&apos;t care for the db one snare sound. &nbsp;My kick is just stuffed with pillows.<br><br>This set up allows me to practice alone without being too loud, but loud enough that I can jam with my friends without them having to crank their amplifiers for the whole neighborhood to hear.

  For the bass drum, I&apos;ve found that the Evans SoundOff Bass Mute combined with the TAMA Soft Sound Beater BSQ10S reduces the bass drum volume even more. The beater looks a bit ridiculous but it feels close enough to a regular one for practice purposes.

  so if I use the Evans Pads or even the Vic Firth pads, what if i just use 2 right on top of each other? That would dampen the noise even more I assume??

  Nice comparison - thank you! &nbsp;It sounded like you were using the Evans dB one snare head with the built-in snare sim layer - is that right, or did you merely use a tom head on your snare? &nbsp;I think I heard the snare sound before you activated the reso-side bottom snare, so I was a little confused when you added the reso/external snare.<br><br>I would like to be able to disable the snare like you can with a normal snare beater head. &nbsp;Do you think a dB One tom head (i.e., without the clever snare sim) would allow that and sound good? &nbsp;I can maybe live with the Soundoffs on the toms, but they make the snare sound pretty awful (and low-pitched).
