Balls to the wall sound..

Sweet revenge Vm2000 :)

It wasn't real satisfying, but back in the apartment days I practiced on a Ralph Pace practice set. Wooden frame was somewhat adjustable, with a fine quality live rubber surface for the "drums" and "cymbals".Yes Sir

Thinking about setting up my kit in my apt. I think the people above me have a bowling alley in theirs.

I used to live in a condo with neighbors on 3 sides. I hade a Roland td5k kit at the time. It was cool but nothing makes up for the feel of real drums. It's like one of the previous posters said, you have to get out and play them. Get a rehearsal space. If you are in a band perhaps the band already has a space for that and you can make arrangments to go there a few extra times a week and get to play. This reason is why I moved into a house. I now have a drumroom that I share with my hot wheels collection. Good luck on resolving your issue.

You can always buy a DrumKat- the DK 10 DrumKat usually goes pretty cheap on Ebay. The bonus is that you can add sounds to your live kit when you play in a band. E-drums will kill your dynamics, so get someplace and play your live kit as often as possible.

i say start a garage band with a real good freind and there u go or someones basement thats it ,other than rental spaces see if there is a clubhouse at ur complex and ask if u can use it once in a while

I have a set of HQ Soundoff pads that worked well for me. It's not like playing on a real kit, but it will keep you practicing.

That and a practice pad, but you'll prob want to find a practice space as well...

I've gotten the next door neighbor to come over and complain both when playing my Ludwigs (along with my friend playing my then-amp a Fender Super Six Reverb amp with his guitar) and a couple of times with a Marshall 25th anniversary head. Kinda sad actually because that Marshall had a very fine tone.

Take the heads off... they'll really be quiet then. DOH
