Did you mean to post a link to some sticks?
You can get add-on silent tips and or maybe get some surgical tubing to cover the shank. Just my Noobish 2 cents
I have a dtxpress iv and anything I've found that reduces the analog sound also affects the trigger response. If I just want to use it as a full kit practice pad, using a long taper stick like the VF AJ2 makes it quieter, but the drums don't respond. And maxing out the sensitivity completely throws my playing off. Hopefully, someone on here has a better answer for you.

Wood is quieter than nylon on rubber. If you wanna get quieter, use a foam cymbal mute on the pad.

Yup. You many have to tweak the settings a tad depending on your module - maybe bump the gain, min velocity etc,
See here for example

I have no idea how well these would work on an e-kit, or even if they'd reduce the volume. But it may be something worth looking into.

Work - yes, of course. Reduce the volume - maybe a small amount. They're for practising on a table when you don't have a practice pad to hand. Stagg and others do them as well. (actually quite good for percussive effects on acoustic cymbals). Last time I used them was with a Korg Cliphit. Obs they do change the balance of the sticks,I have no idea how well these would work on an e-kit, or even if they'd reduce the volume. But it may be something worth looking into.
