Headphones ?

[PencilZ]

Can anyone recommended a good quality set of phones for both monitoring and for use with an electronic kit?

I know i should try them and its a subjective thing but... i'd be interested in what others opinions of them are.

I love Gordy's headphones not only for drumming but for checking phase problems with mics. I own a studio and can wear these headphones when I'm moving the mics while the drummer is playing! I own the ultra phones which have the most isolation. You may like the other two better for playing purposes. Steve Smith uses them.

If you buy them, tell him a former student (Blake Lindberg) sent you. Gordy Knutson is a great player and really great teacher if you didn't know. He's the head
He told a friend that Aerosmith just bought a bunch of his headphones.

Good luck!

Thanks Blake...the G-K's i've seen recommend before as have the sony/beyers/akg's/ and sennheisers.
Guess i'll have to find somewhere in the uk that stocks a few of these brands.
(The sonys seem to be highly rated though).

Try the Sony MDR-V600's. Nice pair o' 'phones. I think Sting was sporting them on his Ten Summoner's Tales - Video Album. I've used mine so much that I've worn out the cushions, but they're also 10 years old...

if you need a cheap solution: get those small "earphones", like an ear-bud, but they have a thing in back to wrap around each ear. put them on, then put on traditional (30-33db reduction) shotgun ear protectors. it is an ok solution for hearing you drums & music at the same time.
