I have a temp apt, in the early century tenement style, and want to sound proof it for a practice space. Any suggestions for inexpensive noise reduction?

Unless you're willing to go all out and build a room within a room there isn't much you can do. Putting the drums and amps on top of these will make your downstairs neighbors less likely to kill you:

Door seals and a heavier door would help too. Good luck.

what do you mean by "sound proof"? do you mean you don't want noise to escape the room you're going to practice in? then the question is, where are you trying to stop the noise from going? upstairs? neighbors immediately on the other side of the wall? neighbors in the next building over? depending on which of these (or whatever other) scenarios you're talking about, there may or may not be a relatively cheap and easy answer. if it's neighbors in the next building over, and you're in a brick building, it may be very possible. if you're talking about people right on the other side of the wall, or on the floor above or the floor below, the answer may very well be "forget it".
