Dampening pads on electric drums

Just wondering if anyone knew of a good way of silencing the pads on my yamaha dd-55 electric kit? I use it for triggering samples in some stuff, and I wear headphones, but the sound of me whacking the pads with my sticks really carries, and I don’t want to disturb the neighbours! I know for acoustic kits & the rock band drums (or any large size electric kit) you can get silencer pads, but the pads on my yamaha are rather small. Is there any kind of DIY way I could silence them a bit

Presonus Digimax FS vs M Audio Octane

Wondering if anyone hear would like to hazard an opinion about these 2 boxes. They both have similar feature sets that I need: 8 channels of ADAT lightpipe out, inserts or line inputs, wordclock in and out. The question is then which one sounds ‘better’ – has more useable pres and better conversion?

I heard a stumper question today

A coworker asked my opinion on a moderate priced digital piano. That was easy, I told him to look into a Yamaha P-85. Feeling smug, he wondered if he could ask me a second question: How could he convert a collection of piano roll music he inherited into digital files?
