Hey guys, Hope everyone's doing fine

I've been looking for these for a long time and I don't know where to get them. I know they are in ear headphones but which kind because these look like they do the job perfectly. Maybe I should ask Carter Beauford next time I see him... which will be never so can you help me out please? :)

They are in-ear monitors that are attached to individually molded ear plugs. The whole setup is going to cost you a few hundred buck rogers.

I'm pretty sure his are custom made by an audiologist who takes a mold of your ear then sends that to the manufacturer that Carter wants to use and then the manufacturer makes everything from there. To do that plan on $500 or better by the time you have the Dr. appointment and pick the manufacturer for the drives in the ear piece like Sure, Sennheiser and so on. By far that's the best way to do it, not cheap but in the end it'll be a custom fit to your ears. Also make sure your sound guy is familiar with in ears and how to adjust the levels for you. The pressure levels with the in ears gets much higher more quickly as the sound is isolated so it's easier to do damage to your hearing if the person controlling the board isn't familiar with that type of monitor.

Thanks for the info guys. I don't think I'm willing to shell out 500 dollars for those. Maybe if I was drumming as a career...

Is there anything that comes close to noise cancelling without being several hundred dollars?

Shure In-Ear Monitors

These will do you justice. SCL2, SCL3, SCL4, SCL5, take yer pic.

I use the Shure models (2s and 3s, they used to call them 'e2' & 'e3' but looks like they're using the SCL prefix now)

they're pretty affordable, and flexible as far as noise-cancellation goes.
I use the foam inserts, they can isolate you pretty well.
I barely heard my acoustic drums last monday, or the monitor blaring beside me.
