While they can be used for silent practice, the main purpose of these drum kits is twofold: to enable a drummer access to a much larger range of drum sounds than can be found in an acoustic kit, and to enable concert performance without the need for using multiple microphones all over the kit to amplify the sound.

Can you play drums without making noise?
Electronic drum kits
They feel just like your acoustic kit without all the noise so you can practice all day long without having an ASBO slapped on your back! Some of the best electronic kits of the market are the Roland TD Series and the long anticipated Alesis Strike kits.
What is a silent drum?
The "silent drumset" presents different forms of muffling of drums and cymbals to play in an apartment without disturbing neighbors or to practice without damaging the ears.
Are electronic drum kits noisy?
While they still generate sound, electronic drums only produce a fraction of the noise you'd hear from loud acoustic drums. On electronic drums, you only hear rubber or mesh pads being struck, thuds from pressing on the hi-hat and bass pedals, and sound from an amp (if you don't wear headphones).
Can neighbors hear electronic drums?
E-drum decibel test: Yes, your neighbors can hear it: edrums.
