My opinion is that the biggest problem is the kick, and not so much the
decibels it makes but that the vibration from kicking goes into the floor,
which is somebody's ceiling and that somebody gets very annoeyd if
your time is not perfect :)

Maybe this sounds silly, but I'm actually planning to get a big enough
board of
plywood, which I can put on my bed and lay the kit on that, thus hopefully
minimizing if not eliminating the noise carried downstairs.
