Gadget that lets my band practice in absolute silence?

Jamhub. Band practice would only be speech level loudness due to the singing. Any experience or recommendation? maybe another product or solution is better or there are aspects I have not thought of. But it seems like you could use in-ear monitors or any headphone and neighbors would not know it if you had a super quiet Roland V-Drums or Alesis electronic drumset. It seems like this is the only product out there since each user can control the volumes. Any comments/insights are appreciated, cheers :beerchug:

Here it is, I am considering buying this in a month or three when I save up:

Wow, that is a really cool idea! Yeah, you get a drummer on a set of e-drums and you could rock out pretty much anyplace all night!

That's actually pretty useful. Thanks, man. It's velocity sensitive?

As far as quiet practice, I've seen those and they're super cool. I've sort of been engineering an end-run about buying one of those by piecing together the Alesis set I have and a series of doodads from line 6 or Behringer hooked into an 8 channel mixer I have. I'd send that to a headphone amp.

That's got everything right there tho. I didn't notice if the inputs on the sections are stereo or not.
EDIT: heeeeey dummy, read the second line Jon. TRS. Stereo in it is.

singer I am working with likes to scream and be loud and does not want to bother neighbors or at least does not like the thought of that and wants to practice at the studio. hmm... I bet I would get resistance from others recording album with edrums and mixing myself too... could save money that way though over the long run since we are not touring or anything :)

Speaking of tennis balls, I was thinking about cutting a tennis ball in half and using the halves to make kick triggers. As much fun as it would be to get a pair of Axis kicks or those Tama Speed Cobras I like, I think I'm going to have to cut costs and string some piezos into some foam and do it that way. That's the nice thing about edrums. you can pretty much make a drum out of anything you can stick a piezo to.

jon the art guy, cool! ya they sound great no matter how or what you make the hit with. I suppose some drummers are more fussy than others about the feel and the drum setup and velocity sensitivity etc that you were hinting.

but, the cool thing is a "hit" gets processed and stuffy by the computer, so I have been eyeing the $200-300 drumsets for fun and trying to convince a drummer to record with em, heh not sure that it would work if its not roland tho for many drummers...
