IMO real drums are best and all ye gotta do is buy padded skins and covers and put a pillow or 2 in ur bass drum
easy peasy lemon squeezy except for prices in ireland:mad:
AFAIK electronic drums can sound bollox but thats not my opinion since i didnt play them

The sound comes out through an amplifier and speaker, so have control of the volume, and you could use headphones if you wish. Although you will generate a certain amount of when playing them due to vibrations.

Acoustics win hands down, but, I'm in a situation where I cant have an acoustic kit anymore so I'm using a Roland TD-6 Kit, and I love it. Just using headphones it's perfect, I have a Roland amp for it, but the louder it goes the more synthetic it sounds (and defeats purpose of electric drums IMHO!). Great for prac tho, can jam 6 hours a day with no complaints, even at 4am if you so wish!

That said, nothing beats letting rip on acoustics!

I advise getting another house! It's the only adequate solution...

Electric Kits are pretty expensive tho....In Music Maker in Dublin teh cheapest is about 900 Eurons.....Me prefers Acoustic all the way...But you dont have to worry about much maintenence with Electric ones......Also me wishes me could jam at 2am....*sigh:rolleyes: ... Does anyone know if those mute pads for acoustic heads work? (to the extent of 2am jamming?)...the ones you just put on top of the normal heads??

im pretty sure they work, but i recommend permanetly padded skins that you put in instead of just plain skins
