Take a look and let me know what you think, it's at: http://squidoo.com/best-headphones-for-drummers

Does it matter what headphones you use if you mic the drum kit using the Glyn Johns method?

Those in my opinion Obi, are the best headphones for a drummer because they go so loud. Though I appreciate the effort in the OP's initial post, being a studio owner for a long time and having worked with musicians from all over the world, the question that gets asked the most by drummers is "are these cans loud enough?" not "are they good at cancelling noise?" The 7506's are also good because they lack mids. So a drummer is going to hear his kick drum, his snare is going to pop/crack, he will hear his hats due to the extra sizzle you get from 7506's...and again, these babies are freakin' loud! My second choice for drummers would be the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's. The reason being, they squeeze your head like a vice, they are excellent closed backs to keep noise out, excel in low end (unless you have an older pair. The older ones lacked lows, the newer ones have a nice bump at like 50-60 Hz to my ears) and they too are excruciatingly loud. Both sets of cans are very affordable and in my opinion, the be all end all of drum headphones. There'd be no reason for a long drawn out blog about all the different sets available in my opinion. You can get exactly what you need for around $99. :) -Danny

The OP is actually advertising product for sale on Amazon in return for $$. It's really spam, but you have to get to the bottom on his page to find out. :(
