Just picked up those from samash last month. They work great. I was having problems hearing the music over the drums and that made it hard for me to play along with songs. Now I use the headphones and can hear the song along with the drums.

nice thewiper101, but i got a question, can you hear the drums equally as good as the song? or does one drown each other out?

how many DB would they block comparied to these new vic firth drumming head phones?
Lafirin, I think they tend to drown out the drums a little too much for my liking. I usually wear them a little bit off center to get more of the drum sound. I guess some kind of adjustable isolation would be ideal. But, I'm not sure if something like that is made. Just be careful if you wear them for a while and take them off go easy, that first crack on the snare seems awfully loud! I have only been playing for 4 months so they work for what I'm doing right now.

thats what i was afraid of, the drums being drowned out. I use ear plugs and crank the volume and my ear plugs drown out the drums too, thats why i was looking at those vic firth headphones. But mabye not..
I use them everytime I play to music. It's the only way I can control the volume of the drums and the music together for something that works for me.

so you would reccommend them to me?
Maybe check out the sony MDR-V 700 headphones. They are actually dj headphones, but are ridiulously loud and clear!! And since they aren't iso headphones they don't completly block out sound from the outside. And since they are over the ear, they do block out some sound.
Hm i think i said before i got a industrial pair of headdies and put them over those little ipod things you put in your ears.... I would have tohught isolation would work better because you can just turn down the music till the drums are ok.... Less ear damage rather than having not iso headies and having to turn them up really loud to hear.....
Other wise u get loud drums defining you and music blasted straight into your ear canal too.
I think about ear protection but either work.

so stevo, you still use your method of i pod headphones underneither industial headphones? Those vic firth probably work the same way yours do.
I badly want a pair of those, they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO nice, and they sound awesome as well.
yay one vote for the head phones! why dont u pick ur self up some? pd?
No money, I am trying to sell some of my drum dvds, so I can get some cash to buy more drum stuff. I have four kids and a limited budget, so I got to get creative when it comes to buying drum gear, but my wife is so supportive, I love her to death.
very true.. i forgot the whole family aspect. I saw some on the internet for about 50 bucks, so they are definatly affordable.
Or? you can go the cheap way out
Buy a set of ear muffs for 5 dollars, put on your little ear bud thingys that MP3 players come with, wrap them around the top of your ear the cord, and then put the bud in so itll be upsidedown, then put some ear muffs over them, works great for me
Im hearing more and more people that use that method, it must be pretty useful. But i personally just wanna get better quaility. but that is a good idea, i never thought of doing that. right now i have to crank but head phones to hear over my drums..
The Vic Firths are sweet. I would go with them ultimately. Wonder how tight they are. Coz i like head bangage so if they dont fall off easy that be cool

you head bang? thats so cool, well they are made with drummers in mind, so i assume they would hold, not entirely sure though.
They don't fall off my head and I wear them a little pushed back to get more drum sound

thewiper101 i got a little question for you, when your jammin away with ur vic firths on, can you hear your bass pedal okay? thats my biggest problem right now with my ear plugs
Well you can definitely hear it. When you hit the bass along with a cymbal is when it gets drowned out the most. I play the music pretty loud through the headphones and can still hear the bass. It is however going to be the hardest one to hear.

cool thanks man i really appreciate it, by the way, where did you buy them?/ ordeR?
