Loaded Kit I live in a terraced house but want an acoustic drum kit, what do you think I should I do?
I've been playing drums for a couple of months now, playing on a fairly cheap electronic kit (wanted to make sure I enjoyed it before forking out a load of cash) but having played a couple of times on real kits, I really want to buy one as, obviously, there's nothing like the real thing. But I'm worried about annoying the neighbours. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
there are drum covers you can get to take the edge off the loudness. also you can soundproof your place. don't play after 8 or 6 pm depending on the law where ever you live and if it becomes an issue for somebody offer to work with them to play around their sleeping habits. ik it is lame but the fact that you show willingness to work with them is key in gaining the respect you need from them as a musician. if none of this works and they are still annoyed, check into renting a 24 hour storage space. many bands practice in them for the same reason and if you can't afford the space on your own then you can get a fellow musician or another band to split the rent. I've seen it done many times the space is big enough for 2 full bands to set up their stuff comfortably. just make sure they are cool and respect your drums when you're not there.
