Aquamentus92 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 i used to watch Mystakin on youtube and he always used to use socks that he rubberbanded to each pad. i tried the same thing, and it works a lot, as long as you dont hulk smash the drums every time. you just use 2 rubber bands to each pad, and get the sock and stretch it vertically over the top of the pad. it wont cover the left and right sides, but you usually dont have to worry about them unless you have bad hand-eye coordination and cant hit the middle.

LoAlexandria Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 see 1st reply: which turns down noise pretty much but these might be 1 other prob: Vibration when hitting pad the whole kit is on vibration and this might go through the floor and walls and this can be noticed as loud "bouncing" in every room so u might want to put something on the floor which absorbs vibration most effective and put ur kit onto it.
