quote:Protection from drum/cymbal volume and general stage volume is basically the primary reason in-ear monitors were invented (they also lower overall stage volume from the audience's perspective because they eliminate the need for stage wedges, making the FOH guy's job easier).
Looking you a recommendation on an in ear monitor that will also help provide some protection from the repeated volume of the drums. Brand, model, etc.
Anyway, since your guy is a youngster, I'd recommend these ZST earbuds from Amazon. I keep a pair in my bag to use as back-ups in case my really good ones crap out on me. The ZSTs are dirt cheap and they do a fine job at sealing the ear canal to keep out ambient noise and it won't hurt your wallet to replace them. Plug them into a phone or iPad to listen to music, adjust the volume so he can hear a blend of his drums and the song, and he's good to go.
As far as lowering the volume of the acoustic kit, Evans and Remo (the two most-used drumhead makers) both make low-volume "mesh" drumheads. I'm an Evans guy so I'm biased towards the "Sound Off" heads. The Zildjian cymbal company also makes low-volume cymbals; the model is "L80". That will allow him to practice without driving the rest of your family insane.
