I'm looking for a pair of headphones that i can use while i'm playing my drums along with my ipod. Therefore, i need a pair of headphones that are great with cancelling outside noise and they have to be comfortable. I do not want canal earphones, but rather something that wraps overtop of the head for more support while playing. The headphones also need to have good bass and a crisp sound so i can hear the drums well. The only problem is that my price range is around 50$. Has anyone had any experience with headphones and drumming that might prove useful? If anyone can recommend a good pair of headphones that fit my criteria i would be very appreciative. Thanks for your input

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 M(http://www.image-acquire.com/beyerdy...c_dt_770m.html) is designed for drummers, but it's way above your price range. There aren't many 'phones to begin with that will isolate well enough, much less around $50. Save up!

I went to a local musician's store and saw a Roland V-Concert hooked up to a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 Pro's. A surprisingly good combo!

I sold one of my pairs of 280 Pros to my friend, and he quite likes them for drumming. If you're careful you can get them for $75 plus shipping.

I've also been to musical stores and seen the Senn HD280's hooked up to drum sets.

Meier-Audio states that the Ultrasone HFI-550 Beatmaster is "specifically designed for professional use by drummers and bass players"
So you might want to give that a look or two

sony v6.
I use these with my electronic drumset. They are very analytical which I love because I can easily discern between my playing and the drummer in the music. They also isolate decent enough that I can't hear the pads when I strike them.

OBLIGATORY WARNING: Wear ear protection under the phones, please.

What?! Why not just turn it down??

cause you can't turn down accoustic drums

Sure you can.... using the miracle technology known as "brushes"

You're advice is good though. I drummed for about 15 years and never used earplugs, and I think it has taken some toll on my hearing.

The Senn HD25-1's have a split band that you could adjust to where it is almost impossible to come off. Even if you were on Tommy Lees spinning drum thing from the 90's. They also have great isolation and solid bass response.

Sorry, I didn't read the post carefully enough, I thought he was using electronic drums.

Still, he could use a lower stick or use some kind of deadener.

It's a shame you've only 50 dollars. Ety's would be a great compromise.

Ran across this link the other day... specially designed closed headphones for studio work using Sony components. Looks pretty decent, but more expensive than what your looking for. Interesting, though.

sennheiser hd212pro, these phones have emphasis on bass, and drumbeats sound good on them. alittle boomy on heavy bass music, but punchy as well. but not a whole lot to kill the other details. they have a decent isolation, slightly better than the sony v6. the isolation obviously cant compare to canalphones, but they are good enough for outside. they have velour earpads which are comfortable. they are just big enough to cover my entire ears. they cost $50 new.
