I’m somewhat surprised that after shelling out for drums, and lessons, the $160 for a set of pads is a big stumbling block. They are going to get a lot of use, they are going to eliminate the noise problem, and they are actually going to extend the life of the drum heads, so what’s the big deal.

Heck, $160 barely buys a decent pedal for guitar these days, and I STILL can’t crank it.
Two things; one is I was given the drums...my cousin moved to Austria and left me his entire drum set. So in reality I shouldn't have an issue paying the $160.

The reason I'm reluctant to is the principle of the matter; I have no issue doing the towel thing, I can get the insulation from work...fine. I'll put in sweat equity to make the situation better. I can't find myself to go out and pay $160 to appease a neighbour because I'm apparently bothering him/her at 5pm.
