Hi all.
I'm on a gear lusting spree although I think I've been in one permenantly for about a year.
(I'm new to this, OK?)
I'm considering headphones (decent) for the drummer (not loud) instead of a wedge.
I suspect a Samson S-amp (£35) and a pair of say, HD280s (£70) would do the job. This isn't set in stone though... if you have recommendations for a cheap-ish (quality not important) headphone amp and headphones, can you please tell me them?
In short, if you were (are) a live drummer, do you prefer:
Headphones - open back;
Headphones - closed back;
Decent wedge, and
Have you got any favourite gear?

I work with a drummer who does live gigs for the country-rock singer Winona Judd. He tells me that the soundman gave him a pair of Ultrasonde cans, and that they are definitely the best at sealing out the ambient noise, loves their fidelity. Drives them with a Mackie 1202VLZ.
