<p>I’ve got a huge drumset, 24" bass drum, and I play everything from jazz to heavy metal, daily. I also live in a small town in New England, with houses at similar distances away ;). It really is not that loud, so as long as it is played during reasonable hours, it should be fine, unless you have some psycho neighbors who complain at the drop of a pin. I have those sound-off pads, they’re ok, but nothing like playing on the regular kit, you cannot approximate the bounce or reach higher stroke speeds and dynamic ranges.</p>
