Need a solution for playing drums quietly, in an apartment, with neighbours or babies in the house? In the article we review low volume mesh drum heads, which can be used to create a low volume drum kit. We look at heads from Remo, Evans, Roland and RTOM for volume reduction, sound, feel, features, and value for money.

As drummers, we all know how important it is to build strength for consistent playing, control and speed. It’s not always practical to be playing at an actual kit - just think of the neighbours when your bashing out those rudiments at midnight! This is where practice pads come in. Whether you're just starting on your drumming journey or you're a seasoned player looking to refine your skills, a good practice pad is an essential purchase.
