Chris,

In a comparison of strikes purely on the heads, mesh is a degree 
quieter than rubber.  But most drummers also hit the rims on mesh 
pads, at least from time to time, and they aren't so quiet. Some mesh 
heads offer rubber trim as an option to minimze stray noise; 
resourceful people often make their own. We've had a number of posts 
through the years describing how to apply the rubber, as well as where 
to buy it.
