How much sound do these mute in your estimation? Do cymbal mutes fit all sizes? What's the best way to attach bass drum mute to avoid damage?

i would say they mute about 80% of the sound, except the bass drum, that is more like 60%the cymbal mutes should work on any size; the small one goes right to the edge of a 14" cymbal and the big one goes to about half an inch away from the edge of a 20" cymbalthe bass drum mute doesn't have a strap or and kind of adhesive on it when you buy it. the cushion-type foam makes it difficult to attach; i tried some poster hangers i had laying around and double sided tape, but they didn't workthe best way to attach it would probably be to pull the head off and tape the mute to the head i would say they mute about 80% of the sound, except the bass drum, that is more like 60%the cymbal mutes should work on any size; the small one goes right to the edge of a 14" cymbal and the big one goes to about half an inch away from the edge of a 20" cymbalthe bass drum mute doesn't have a strap or and kind of adhesive on it when you buy it. the cushion-type foam makes it difficult to attach; i tried some poster hangers i had laying around and double sided tape, but they didn't workthe best way to attach it would probably be to pull the head off and... » Read More i would say they mute about 80% of the sound, except the bass drum, that is more like 60%the cymbal mutes should work on any size; the small one goes right to the edge of a 14" cymbal and the big one goes to about half an inch away from the edge of a 20" cymbalthe bass drum mute doesn't have a strap or and kind of adhesive on it when you buy it. the cushion-type foam makes it difficult to attach; i tried some poster hangers i had laying around and double sided tape, but they didn't workthe best way to attach it would probably be to pull the head off and tape the mute to the head « Show Less

The sound was muted about 70%. It made a huge difference. The base drum pad just sat against my base with no extra installation. there is a hole for the pedal to fit through.

Hey Alex, No, the cans should not be doing that. As Matthew stated, they are in fact removable. Some times when they're being manufactured they don't push the connectors in enough, which will cause them cut out and at times crackle... If you've tried to remove them and reattach them and they're still doing that you'll need to contact Amazon or the seller to get a new pair. Glad to see you purchased a pair, they're phenominal. Also remember, if your looking for thick bass then you should purchase the 380 pros. They're prestene and the bass response is amazing. I own a few different pairs of headphones and unlike beats, these are warm without that plastic sound... Happy listening! Hey Alex, No, the cans should not be doing that.

I found a way to hack them....I took them apart and turned the speakers out. Then popped the tabs off that hold each ear piece on and turned them back in. This makes them stay on all the time. I love the booming bass that actually moves your skin. This is extremely dangerous and unhealthy because when they are too loud it makes your head go into spasms from piercing your ear drums. But oh my god it sounds like a concert and the treble is amazing also. I have the Mountain Dew skin ones and I friggin love them. I have a video on facebook to prove I did this.

As far as I know, Bose does not publish specs. However, I am the happy owner of these speakers. They produce plenty of volume to satisfy all but the hard of hearing. I am guessing that you are perhaps concerned about clipping. One thing you could do, which I have done, is use them with a passive preamp along with a sub. I do not know what impact, if any, not routing the bass range has on the Bose electronics. In my setup I cannot detect any harmful effects. The sound is clear and very full. I know I did not answer your question but perhaps I may have addressed your need.

I think that you mean the noise of the pads? I would have to say no. I would have say it would be like tapping on a hard piece of hard rubber. The cymbals are like tapping on a thin piece of plastic. But with headphones on you can't hear the tapping you hear the actual sound of the drum or cymbal that goes with playing through a amp. If you want quiet go with mesh heads.

HI Garcia. I bought this pair of bass shakers and i did not like because they dont bass as well. I Plug this inmy amplifier and does not work good. That Dayton Audio makes a lot of noise but does not work great. Regards , MURILO from Brazil.

Most headphones are not tuned for walloping bass. These cans, which are bassier then say the ATH M50x (which i own), still don't kick like my sub in my car does. When you have headphones that overemphasize the lows... they tend to bleed over & cover the mids. So, nicer headphones like your Vmoda's would definitely not do that. Though the Vmoda's aren't balanced... you don't struggle to hear highs & mids along with the lows. Now, if you're willing to invest a little more, you can purchase a DAC / Headphone Amplifier that can make all of your headphones hit way harder. You can adjust the EQ to make the bass frequency stronger. I've used the Fiio E17 with my VModa's and they KILL with it. I set the Low's at 8db... and it becomes a bass monster. Hope that helped.

Mofo s Are junk. I ordered them and were damaged. Go with soundqubed. I compete in bass and have yet to break windshield

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

My husband does not use the bass patterns so we can't help you. Also it isn't because they are chezzy it's just he never uses the bass drum patterns off the drum machines. So this isn't much help, sorry!

Hi, I'm a professional touring bassist. I've been using the ER4P's for about 8 years on stage and in the studio. I had similar ones before this, some custom moulded that cost from $350 to $800 but I prefer the Etymotics. BTW, You can find them for about $170 on amazon. I now own three pairs, one for stage, another for when I travel, one I leave at home. They are great on planes and for traveling because of their sound isolation (about 32db) This allows me to listen to movies and music without having to crank it up, thus saving my ears. I use the foam tips because they are way more comfortable. Do they hold up? They are very well made and durable and I have had absolutely no problems with them. I did have a friend of mine break off an end by accident and he had no problem getting a new pair under warranty from Etymotic. These are some of the very best out there if not the very best, well worth the money. I hope this helps, take care.

Funny you ask, I'm a drummer as well. You absolutely need an external amp. These are large tower speakers & I have mine paired with a Hsu STF2 subwoofer. The bass is excellent & they sound great for TV & movies (especially Blu-ray). Unfortunately I find these speakers a little power hungry for music. I have these paired with a Pioneer 1019AH-K receiver & Panasonic Blu-ray player all bought together in 2009. These have all been relegated to the mancave with my drums ironically. For music the Bic's do not compare to my new system which consists of a much more expensive Marantz receiver paired with NHT tower speakers that blow the Bic's away in every aspect especially music! But that's an unfair comparison. I'm mostly a metal drummer & I play along to music using these speakers at very high volumes. A subwoofer is not necessary for these speakers with music (as I believe you should only listen to music in two channel stereo) but they just don't sound as crisp & clean as the NHT's at high volumes (or any volume for that matter). I also prefer to NEVER listen to music through a computer, but I understand the convenience, so I can't help ya there. Bottom line - They're plenty loud to play drums along to with a decent receiver with your computer connected. They're great speakers for the price.

I haven't used Beats, but I play drums with these for 2 - 3 hours and I hardly know they're there. I don't expect the sound pattern would be the same, however as Sennheisers go for tonal balance and don't exaggerate bass.

I've only used on my Fender P-bass (which is pretty heavy). These did not work well (tried 2 sets). While I think they would do better on something lighter, personally I wouldn't trust them, especially with something expensive. Go with strap-locks.

No, I never heard of those. I really can't answer about the bass. I know that when you first use these you should have the volume turned down a little.

There is a "bass mute" button below the display. Try this first, but I don't know if this would mute "your own bass lines" too.

I bought these for my husband. I dont know much about drums and what pieces are what.The kinda triangle pieces are the ones for the high cymbals and the high hat. As for the ones that crash together there I don't remember if this set came with anything for that or if there is anything for that. These do help silence some noise of the drums
