      Hi all,

      Does anyone of you a good advise for a drummer headphone during recordings? I can imagine it should have extra isolation from the drumkit. For the other musicians i use Sennheiser HD 25-CII headphones.
      Any tips are appreciated!

        A drummer I know use a brand called Extreme Isolation. I have little experience myself but he really likes them.

          Yes, I have heard the same. The drummer in our church loves these!

                As another option, Beyerdynamic DT 770 M's are excellent in my experience. I have not tried the Extreme Isolation headphones so I cannot offer any comparison.

                        I have HD25 and they've good isolation and they're great to play drums too. And I use Shure SE215 and it's what I prefer of this three. No click bleed with either of this.

                          On advice of members here, last week I got a pair of Direct Sound Ex29s I tried them at the studio playing drums and
                          they were stellar. I've used them a little to check mixes and find them pretty flat, no hyped bass or high end. Pretty good for a lower end set.

                            I'd say anything that have good isolation would be a good choice for drummers.

                            But I have to share that I recenlty got the Westone UM Pro 20 in-ear Monitors
                            and I can say that my life changed. It's so good to track with them because
                            they isolate the drum sound and they have a superb sound quality so it always feel
                            like I'm playing to a final mix.
