I am a drummer, and use a raw solution: you break two good headphones, keep the audiopad and put it inside a Peltor pair of hearing protectors, it works damn good ;)
Definitely buy the Senn. HD280s suggested above. They isolate well and sound great. The Direct Sound Extreme Isolation headphones isolate very well, but sound pretty crappy compared to the HD280's. I use the Direct Sound headphones for playing along to cds but I always use the HD280s for tracking.
I've used HD280pro for about 3 years in my studio. They isolate very well, they are loud and bright. Drummers love them. Unfortunately they are very fragile. I think it's a shame that so well designed studio headphones are made of so fragile plastic. My set will probably break in a few months and I doubt I would buy the same model again, cos I want headphones that will last for 10 years not 4. But if I were to buy them only for me (not clients) I would do so.
I'm a drummer and have my own recording set up for me and my band, and i just have a pair of akg k44's, they work pretty good for me, plus they're pretty cheap.
