Hi,
I did search for this and found this thread http://www.vdrums.com/forum/forum/ad...k-noise-levels, but my issue involves not comparisons across pads. At the moment, I find the stick-pad contact noises distracting, especially since my home setup requires the speakers to be a few feet away from my kit. The noise is greater on bow shots and the cymbals in general. Holding my drum kit as a constant (CY-5, CY-8, CY-12, PD-8), what can I consider doing to minimize stick noises? I'm using Zildjian antivibe sticks. I'm speculating that tip density is the chief predictor of contact noise. Do nylon tips reduce noise? Is there any removable covering I can put on my wood tips to dull the noise while still keeping the hit accurate?
