Hi guys! Wondering if you guys have any tips. My band practices in our basement and it can be beyond loud most the time. I'd like to preserve my ears if at all possible. What recs do you have re in ear monitoring and how to get overall sound if band at the same time?

Very much recommended.
The drummer has to be tamed nonetheless.
If he's able he will simply play quieter while retaining all the dynamics.
Another option would be using electronic drums. -
you might want to consider the bass direct... start overhead center with the drum mic on a boom then move it down and around to get the best sound... you'll find the sweet spot that the drummer has between his cymbal playing and toms, snare and bass drum. some school of thought is move it away as a room mic... acoustic guitarist use this to pick up a more balanced ambient sound. have fun!

Very good suggestion.
Our rehearsals got a very good and very consistent quality once we moved to the Jamhub system 3 years ago. -
Would an sm58 be an appropriate drum mic? If not what would you recommend?
anything ya got is fine for this rehearsal purpose... for recording maybe something a little brighter might be appropriate like a condenser... cheap audio technics 2020.. they serve as great drum overheads for recording and live use... buy them used on eBay!!
