So simply put I live in an upper floor apartment of a house, so an alesis e kit is perfect of course, but i'm debating whether to get the dm10 pro kit with the surge cymbals or the studio kit, debating it cause possibly most of my playing will be done through headphones for awhile, so my question is, are the surge cymbals loud just in themselves? would drum mutes help or take away from the feel?
What do people think?
