This is something that really interest me these days. My home is filling up with instruments, and as I did play a lot of drums when I was young, I really love being able to sit at a drum set. BUT, I live on the forth floor in a flat and I also want to take my wife into consideration. So all I did was buying an African hand drum and two drum sticks with the intent of getting better at polyrhythms (quickly realising that I had a lot of things I had to learn before I could get beyond simple triplets.) But now my wife actually has said that maybe I should get one of those electronic drum sets as I use any opportunity to practise with my sticks just on my legs... So maybe!!!

Ooh! We will happily welcome you to the cult of Hive drummers. There are some nice e-kits out there. Roland did a new one that is designed to reduce the noise even more. Some people build isolation platforms, often using half tennis balls between sheets of wood. I am fortunate to live in a detached house, but my better half will still complain about the tapping noises. I play the acoustic kit when she is out.
There are loads of free lessons on Youtube. I just joined Drumeo to get more structure and they do have a lot of content. Maybe we can get the Hivers to give some tips in their videos.
I'll be honoured to be part of that... have to get those drums first of course. But I'll write a post about the mini-studio I that suddenly appeared in my living room.
