I practice with headphones, especially because of the acoustic drums. It's just too damn loud without them (I have some Vic Firth isolation cans esp. for drums). I also preferred headphones with the e-drums as well. With e-drums you're still going to get some noise, but it's generally manageable unless you have especially sensitive neighbors. You can try some sound isolation for the kick pedal itself, but there's only so much you can do and it's usually not an issue. EQ wise, the electronic kits are usually already mixed so I didn't have to adjust them very much, but the acoustic drums took a bit of additional setup. My biggest issue with e-drums is crosstalk which I've had to manage within the module itself but also using gates and sidechain compression.
