Get ear plugs. I got mine from drums resources. It is meant for drummers.

The ones from drum resources are from etymotics. Not too sure abt 3M ones but as long it cut down the sound, it should be alright.
I takes time to get use to it, with my personal experience,
i was in jam studio / gig sound check for a day and had 8 hrs on the drum kit, i found that my ears do not heard from the tom toms or bass drum, But its start to feel the crack when i am doing rim shots and hitting heavy cymbals with lots of overtones,
But to answer your question, What i did in the past was to use a $100 sennheiser cx300 earphones and fit it on my ears when i am drumming, it cuts around 20 db, which is just nice,
If u were to use a Shure iem thats cuts around 40 decibals, u wont be able to hear yourself on the kit clearly and you might end up whacking it, just my personal pointers here, cheers
