Headphones for Drumming Practice

Practicing drums with a music track is a useful practice. However, in order to hear the music track over the drums, these sessions require either loud speakers or headphones that are cranked up to high volume. This is definitely bad for us as it increases the risk of premature hearing loss (tinnitus) -- and of course, it bothers neighbours who do not appreciate good drumming ;-)

I discovered a website that offers a headphone especially designed for drumming practice. These headphones isolate the eardrums from the external noise (our drums!) thus allowing us to hear the music tracks at a comfortable, safe level. The bleed through the headphones is more than enough to give a nice "balance" between the drum sounds and the music track. This headphone seems to work very well for drummers -- plenty of testimonials at the site from drummers!
