Like it or not, the drums are loud and if you want to practice this has to be taken into account. Unlike most other instruments, there are few options to effectively practice playing the drums without making a lot of noise. The following are three ideas that you may want to consider in order to practice the drums in a way that does not drive the people you live with - and your neighbors - crazy.

The best idea would be to create a sound proof room, though obviously this only works if you have the space and lot of money. A sound proofed room would allow you to play your normal drums in your normal style without bothering anyone else. However, you have to have a room to sound proof in the first place, so if you do not obviously this is not a solution to your problem. If you do have a room, you will have to look into the cost of the proper materials and determine whether or not the job is something you can do yourself or something that will require professional help.

The most cost efficient idea is to use sound dampening pads. These are foam pads that can be places over (or sometimes under) the drum heads and immediately reduces the volume of the drums by about ninety percent. There are many different types of sound dampening pads available on the market, of varying qualities and at varying prices. However, realistically you can also make inexpensive pads yourself using foam pads found in arts & crafts stores and double-sided tape to affix them. If you make your own sound dampening pads you can expect them to wear out fairly quickly, but be extremely quick and inexpensive to replace.

The third option is to simply invest in an electronic drum kit with which you can easily play all night with the only sound coming through earphones or at a very low volume through attached speakers. Of course electronic drum kits do cost quite a bit and if you already have a set of drums this might be overkill. However, if you have already been considering purchasing an electronic drum kit, this might be a great way to solve your noise problem as well.

Acoustical Imaging $140 The technology of acoustical imaging has advanced rapidly over the last sixty years, and now represents a sophisticated technique applied to a wide range of fields including non-destructive testing, medical imaging, underwater imaging and SONAR, and geophysical exploration. Acoustical Imaging: Techniques and Applications for Engineers introduces the basic physics of acoustics and acoustical imaging, before progressing to more advanced topics such as 3D and 4D imaging, elasticity theory, gauge invariance property of acoustic equation of motion and acoustic metamaterials. The author draws together the different technologies in sonar, seismic and ultrasound imaging, highlighting the similarities between topic areas and their common underlying theory. Key features: Comprehensively covers all of the important applications of acoustical imaging. Introduces the gauge invariance property of acoustic equation of motion, with applications in the elastic constants of isotropic solids, time reversal acoustics, negative refraction, double negative acoustical metamaterial and acoustical cloaking. Contains up to date treatments on latest theories of sound propagation in random media, including statistical treatment and chaos theory. Includes a chapter devoted to new acoustics based on metamaterials, a field founded by the author, including a new theory of elasticity and new theory of sound propagation in solids and fluids and tremendous potential in several novel applications. Covers the hot topics on acoustical imaging including time reversal acoustics, negative refraction and acoustical cloaking. Acoustical Imaging: Techniques and Applications for Engineers is a comprehensive reference on acoustical imaging and forms a valuable resource for engineers, researchers, senior undergraduate and graduate students.

Acoustical Engineering $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Acoustical engineering is the branch of engineering dealing with sound and vibration.

Room Acoustical Fields (Hardcover) $395.26 This book presents the theory of room acoustical fields and revises the Mirror Source Methods for practical computational use, emphasizing the wave character of acoustical fields. The presented higher methods include the concepts of "Mirror Point Sources" and "Corner sources which allow for an excellent approximation of complex room geometries and even equipped rooms. In contrast to classical description, this book extends the theory of sound fields describing them by their complex sound pressure and the particle velocity. This approach enables accurate descriptions of interference and absorption phenomena.
