Drumset second floor apartment.
If you re on the ground floor you re gold for an e kit.

I was able to use it for about a month but eventually the neighbors beneath us reported me they thought i was practicing on a real kit.

Hey r drums so i m looking to buy my first drum set an electronic set that is not very noisy since i live in an apartment and would much rather not piss off neighbors and draw noise complaints i m a relatively inexperienced drummer that basically learned to play rock and punk songs because a friend owned a drum set and i d played rock band for years.

If you choose to live on the top apartment floor you want to check out the conditions of the exterior roof and see if any damage has occurred that ll directly affect your apartment.

Yes electric drum sets are designed to keep the noise down by using rubber pads on the cymbals and mesh heads on the drum heads.
I second this answer.
More exposure to natural light.
Great for apartments and doesn t matter what floor you re on.
Line the walls with sand bags.
Keep in mind that electronic drum set still make a lot of noise.
I was advised to try using tennis balls on the legs of the pad set.
I dared only use a practice pad kit 4 pads up and a small pad where my double kick goes.
If you are on the second floor put your set on a sandbox.
I also live in an apartment.
