I want to get back to playing drums. I do have electronic drums set.
I am not a professional drummer, I just do it as a hobby in addition to other stuff i like.
It makes me happy and although I do have T i want to enjoy it if I can.
My goal is to learn basic snare rudiments and beats. I am not planning to play gigs. I just want to be able to play some music. I already learned few rudiments and groves but T scared me and I never got back to it.
I learned about 20 groves from

and I want to be able to finish my journey and learn all 47.
I had a long break due to lack of time and then my T started so I never got motivated to practice again.
Yesterday I went to listen to some live music and I got excited again.
I dont want to play everyday but I want to practice like 2-3 times a week until I complete my mission.
I am able to set the headsets volume but if the volume is too low I hear hitting against the rubber with my sticks which makes the drumming sound like crap. I think the best approach would be to get some good isolating headsets.
What I wonder is if I practice on the pad, should i protect my ears? Should I wear some plugs?
Are Er20 enough or should I get some custom plugs.
Even if i play with headsets, should I use any further protection?
It seems like if I would get musician earplugs, I would be protected when necessary.
So even with headsets the plugs would adjust the volume automatically and while playing on the pad every time I would hit the pad too hard I would automatically be protected?
