Neighbours = Pwned!!

[Corkofski]

My neighbours came round and complained again...
accused me of playing for an hour and a half...

BUT

i filmed my entire practise non-stop from the moment i installed my new tom mount and put the toms on.

and i'll be damned if its more than 45 mins

i win. at life. overall.

on a side note, i think the police will be paying me a visit tonight, so i'd better copy the video for them...

[Blank]

Oh god why didn't you put this in the stronghold...

[Brokensticks]

Damn stupid neighbors.... They should appreciate the music :)

[Kosmos Tree]

If your neighbours complain, they will probably do it again and again, especially if they are older people.
Just check how the law about that is.
In Germany you are allowed to play drums (or other loud instruments like horns) 1 hour per day, if you are legally allowed to make noise your neighbours can kiss your butt.

[LittlePound]

Tell your neighbors that it annoys you to see their stupid ugly faces every day and report them for "indecent exposure". That should shut tehm up

and then play your drums again just to make em mad

[Tim]

My neighbors dont complain. they enjoy the alternative music. they might get annoyed by the hard rock and heavy stuff but they have never complained. I just keep it within reasonable hours.

If you have multiple personality disorder, do you get an hour per personality?

[Kosmos Tree]

:lol: depends on the country i guess

[Swiftay]

oh man Corko, you truly are the master of life.

Now what you have to do is actually play for an hour and half and film, BUT THEN EDIT OUT PARTS OF IT TO MAKE IT 45 MINUTES! oh ho ho! Clev0r!

[puppet.master]

my neighbours are all deaf so no complaints from them :D

my parents are gonna be home and i have a jam today

first jam thier gonna hear with out drum mutes

[Corkofski]

oh man Corko, you truly are the master of life.

the funny thing is, i prefer not to play for that long!!
i play best in 30-40 min slots...

[Undisco Kidd]

My neighbors are cool with it. I talked with them about it a while after I got my set, and they told me that they're cool with it from 8-11.

Awesome.

[Brokensticks]

My neighbors don't hear my drums :)

[SkaRabbit]

My neighbour got the council round on me after a huge rant. Where she was tryign to break down a door, swearing, making more noice than me...lets just say she might end up owing me a sum of money(claimed i felt physically threatend) caught the whole thing on recording. And we were being realy polite so she had no excuse.

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

yeah, i can drum from 12:00 till 20:00.. only i just drum about 1½ or 2 hours a day..

[Brokensticks]

I am limited to only drumming when noone in my house is in bed.

[Jezen]

I can play from 9:00 till 22:00, unless my mum is home.

Gotta love living alone 90% of the time...

[Sticks_of_Fury]

I live in a student house with five others so I have to wait for the guy living above me to go to lectures before I can play. Luckily most of the neighbourhood don't seem to care. :thumb:

[Kosmos Tree]

I would love to have my drums at home, i always have to drive over 30 minutes to my rehearsal room.

[Sharkey Boy]

for me ive got till about 11-6

cant complain really,

[aznriceball]

i can play from about 10 am to about 2 am. the neighbors have no right whatsoever to complain

[Brokensticks]

for me ive got till about 11-6

cant complain really,

only six? What's up with that.

[crazyguy832]

Yeah, my practice often starts at six.

:lol:

[Chameleon]

Wow, I guess you must have pretty screwed up laws in Arizona then.

[Retarded Chipple]

In the U.K I think the official times you're allowed to make any kind of noise such as playing music in a built up area etc is 7am-11pm.

[Loser]

My neighbors have never complained. Then again, I tried as much as I could to limit the sound getting to them, and I try not to play a lot if I know they're home.

What I suggest for people complaining about drumming - take a loud crash cymbal to their lawn by their bedroom window while they are asleep. Hit repeatedly until they wake up, and then run.

[Jezen]

Run back home next door so they follow you and then call the cops? Clever.

[Swiftay]

the funny thing is, i prefer not to play for that long!!

Haha yeah man, me too.

I also have electronic drums, so i'm well covered.

[Loser]

No, no. I was going to add on after "run" that he should not run home, rather just 'away' then home when he loses them, if possible, but then I didn't.

[raz0r]

I can play from any time up til 10pm.

The neighbours have only ever complained once, and that was when we had the whole band playing, amps turned up, with the window open.

We were kinda asking for that one, in retrospect.

[Det_Nosnip]

I think that BB's idea was to call the cops and have the neighbors arrested for trespassing. Here in Texas, you could probably shoot them.

[AtomShip]

Thats really bad advice, I really dont like you.

[Jezen]

.....Yes. That's exactly what I thought.



Haha priceless! :lol:

[Ra']

i only got yelled at by neighbors once ....and they werent even mine....and they didnt even have the guts to come over and say something themselves....i was at my guitarist's house and we were all jammin in the garage and a cop pulls up and listens for about 10 min...after that he got out and was like ur neighbors are complaining that its too loud u guys gotta close the garage doors... and it was like 2 pm on a saturday...****ers

[Loyton]

.....Yes. That's exactly what I thought.



Haha priceless! :lol:

Acually, its here in colorado where the laws are like that. Its a specfic law called the "Make my day" law. Anyone trespassing on your proporty, and you deem them threatfull, you have the right to fire upon/kill.

[Blank]

I can drum from noon until about 8.
It's a pretty good deal considering my neighbors are old people.

[LittlePound]

i'm limited to drumming mainly when no one is in the house, about thirty minutes a day if' i'm not doing anything after school, other than that i'm screwed which is why i bought my guitar

[moogoogaipan]

I can usually drum whenever the hell I want, save that no one has just gone to sleep or is watching O'Reilly Factor

[Iodus]

At the moment i live in the middle of nowhere and can drum whenever i want,
but i'm moving into town on friday :angry: it's guna suck

That's a great name for a law.

[LittlePound]

it was a joke and what did i ever do to you retard?!??!

[Blank]

You just noticed that LP?
:lol:

[LittlePound]

yeah i've been gone for awhile and i dind't bother to read past posts.

[White]

I hate annoying neighbors, my old ones always bitched but (I tihnk due to me) they moved, and I got nice ones that always come over and listen to me and my bro play together they appreciate it lol

[pabster]

Dude, get an e-kit! This is 2006 now...those days are over where neighbors get annoyed....they can't hear an e-kit because you practicve with a headset.

[LittlePound]

/\/\ ok i'm a strong disbeliever in e kits....(treat this post as a joke but it really happened). One dude in the forums had this same complaint awhile back, and he got an e kit and his neighbors were still complaining about (which just shows they're full of crap). I'm still all for my first post of you telling them to shove it....hehehehe

[playwithfire]

pretty much anywhere in Canada you're allowed to be as noisy as you want until about 10 pm.

[derryk]

I thought it was 11. Or it's 11 here..
I can only drum until 9 though. (parents.. actually parent)

[Brokensticks]

In Canada I think it's like 10 - 10

[Det_Nosnip]

I can usually drum whenever the hell I want, save that no one has just gone to sleep or is watching O'Reilly Factor

:confused: That would be the best time to practice. How else are you supposed to drown out that obnoxious prick?

[Motleyguy]

I can only drum when my dad isn't home. Because he's a turbo nazi (seriously, his employees call him Hitler) and he doesn't support me musically whatsoever, you know, music doesn't make you rich, so therefore it is useless, damn nazi. Therefore, I'm lucky if I even get to play my kit somedays, as I have various other activities I must do, so some nights I don't get to practice on my kit. That's why I have the practice pad though, so it's all good.

[Meridian91]

Buy some sticks and shove them in there eyes..

Problem solved.. Then they wont be able to look at the clock heh. :P

I had a vision of Hitler walking through a door saying "Honey, im home!"

[Motleyguy]

haha, my dad, say "honey I'm home" it's more like "where's my dinner bitch?"

[RushHourSoul]

I get to play from half 3 to half 4 everyday, it sucks. Better than nothing i suppose

[Pleaseme]

Looks like I should be counting myself lucky that I've never had a complaint, even when jamming with mates, with the window open, and our road is full of old people/a-holes. I usually try to stop at around 6 or so, because I think that if I was a non drumming neighbour, I'd get a bit annoyed with it going on until the evening.

[Whysman]

I get about 12:00 to 18:00, sometime people are watching TV so I just put on drum mutes which I usually put on anyway to practice rudiments and all. My neighbours have complained alot about our dog barking but they have not seemed to care about the drums not that they can do much anyway and they've even stopped complaining about the dog.

[Loser]

haha, my dad, say "honey I'm home" it's more like "where's my dinner bitch?"

You should buy him a little nazi outfit for his birthday.

[Kosmos Tree]

Don't forget the mustache :lol:

[ValeOfShadows]

Im allowed to play from about 8:00 to 6:00. I've only ever had one complaint...my neighbour complained that i played at 11:00 at night...even though i didnt...my mum told me that they complained...then i told her that she would have woken up if i had played...she agreed...

[Ming-a-Ling]

I think that BB's idea was to call the cops and have the neighbors arrested for trespassing. Here in Texas, you could probably shoot them.

Haha, you probably could. After a long ordeal involving a drug dealer living at his house and almost getting arrested, a buddy of mine told a cop that if a crackhead or someone came to his door he's going to shoot first, and the cop said, "Well, that's your right."

[some jive turkey]

i'm limited to drumming mainly when no one is in the house, about thirty minutes a day if' i'm not doing anything after school, other than that i'm screwed which is why i bought my guitar

Put down the guitar and get a practice pad, or an electic drumset. There are too many flippin guitarists in the world anyway.

[IFYS]

i can play from about 10 am to about 2 am. the neighbors have no right whatsoever to complain

these are more like my hours. my band doesn't even start to practice until 11p.m.:thumb:

[LittlePound]

i have a practice pad and play on it a lot more often than my drumset(practicing rudiments, transitions from triplets to regular notes and whatnot)...in fact i used to take it to school with me and practice on days where de didn't do much in class but still....there's only so much time i spend on a practice before i stop being productive so i bought i guitar, i figured it wouldn't hurt me as a drummer and could only help...

[Blank]

Same reason I bought my bass.
Multi talents rule.

[LittlePound]

yeah i play piano and just about anything else percussion too, i'm going to be a music jedi master when i'm older...it'll be so awesome (but music jedi's don't get lightsabers:upset:

[Blank]

You get glowing drumsticks though. :cool:

[LittlePound]

but i can't cuz the guitarists in half with those....i guess they're better than nothing though

[fritzz]

In Belgium you can play untill 10 pm but my neighbours have a littel kid, and he goes to bed at 8 pm so I can play until 8, but since 1 month I have a electronic set so I can play any time I want:)

[RushHourSoul]

these are more like my hours. my band doesn't even start to practice until 11p.m.:thumb:

Theres no reason for that and its being pretty selfish.

[Loyton]

haha, my dad, say "honey I'm home" it's more like "where's my dinner bitch?"

Or "**** on my face"

[RoaRing_Roach]

The best recipe so that neighbours love you:
*mute your drums(muffles)
*everytime after your practice, de-mute your drums and play live,mainly "ear catching" stuff for 20-30mins, (funky grooves...and etc but u are not gonna play a repative blastbeat or crash rolling)
*thus everyone's happy

(basically never play blastbeats 'cause it's trash!)

[fromtheshadows]

that dude would be me!, it suks my neighbours must have super hearing or something, there moving soon though :amaze:

* mutters to self, " please get hardcore rocker living next to me"* :p

[Caleb_Pickering]

My nieghbors are so old they cant hear anything at all! :)

[Maggot Dream]

My neighbor is a guitarist, so he likes my music. No problems there.

[Corkofski]

found out today, my neighbour bought his son an e-kit for christmas!!

serious case of WTF syndrome...
