How to make drums quieter?

I have a Pulse 5 Piece Drum Set (http://drums-percussion.musiciansfriend.com/product/Pulse-Pro-5Piece-Drum-Set-with-Cymbals-and-Black-Hardware-?sku=445369) and am also in a garage band. My band members complain that my drums are too loud and i am wondering how i can quiet them down a bit I have Moon Goo on them, just for sound, not volume, and i have a pad on my bass drum to muffle the sound a bit. What are some inexpensive ways to quiet my drums down?

1- Drum pads

Drum pads to cover your snare, toms, bass work pretty well depending how large a setup you have. They do however change the sound of your drums but are well worth the price for your situation. We recommend PI Deluxe Drum Mutes: http://www.percussiveinnovations.com/deluxe_drum_mutes.htm

Foam rings that provide partial muffing. We recommend Remo Muff'l Ring Control: http://www.remo.com/portal/products/2/599/607/dh_muffl_ring.html

2- Muffing Systems

There are muffing sytems for bass drum that can be used on both the batter and resonant heads to adjust the sound and feel of the bass drum. We recommend Remo Bass Drum Muffing System: http://www.remo.com/portal/products/2/610/611/ds_bass_drum_muffl.html

3- Damping Systems

Used on snare drums a damping system allows easily control the sustain time. We recommend Remo Snare Damping System: http://www.remo.com/portal/products/2/610/612/ds_snare_damp.html

4- Cymbal pads

Many volume reduction pads for cymbals are attached to the Wing Nut of the Cymbal Stand and actually flop around on top of cymbal, impeding your ability to play properly. These types of mutes have a number of functional and technical problems. First, they flap around on cymbals, only partially muffling the sound. This is not helpful if your practice situation requires silence. The unpredictable nature of this movement creates technical concerns, because the flapping rubber alters the natural cymbal reflex motion and interferes with feel during practice.

The best cymbal mutes attach, adhere, and connect directly to cymbals, allowing them to flow with the rhythm of your playing. This connectivity is a huge technical advantage because it eliminates unwanted variables such as flapping, obstructed mute position, noise issues and secondary impact problems.

We recommend PI Cymbal Mutes that offer players a great feeling cymbal mute that moves and grooves with the natural movement and flow of the cymbal: http://www.percussiveinnovations.com/vcd_cymbal.htm

5- Silencer sticks

We recommend Pro Mark Hot Rods: http://www.promark-stix.com/products/view.cfm?product_id=82cf1ae8-4240-4337-8ac0-434755fab7b2

6- Soundproofing

You can hang blankets or put area rugs on your wall (some effect) and/or put insulation material on your wall. These are not photogenic but they work.

7- Simply don't play as loud.
