  1. Maybe even simpler, go take a lesson or two from your local drum instructor. 'Splain the situation, see how it goes. No need to rent a kit just to assess whether it's a go or a non-starter. Some of the "quiet drumming" options come with trade-offs; for instance rubber or mesh heads seem to be harder on my hands, wrists, and elbows. OTOH, some of that might be my fault, incorrect compensation or something... I've found continuing on the guitar -- as best I can -- helps keep my hands and fingers as limber as they're likely to be at any given time. No real cure for the carpal, the tennis elbow, the Milwaukee shoulder, the rotator cuff issues... but at least most of those haven't impaired drumming. The elbow goes south sometimes after a long session... mostly when I should have stopped a bit sooner. -D44
