My band rehearses in the piano players basement. He's made it a point to befriend all of his close neighbors and give them a heads up before practicing.

Very glad you liked the post! I believe the vast majority of drummers in particular suffer from 'neighbor syndrome' because they tend to be the instrument whose volume is difficult to control. And I'm not talking about dynamics, it's just the nature of the drumming beast to be loud! Many drummers don't like electronic drum sets or would just rather use them to augment their acoustic kit. Plus, electronic kits are expensive! If we can show how drummers can 'have their cake and eat it too', as the article mentions, there will be a lot of happy drummers! Glad you liked the web site as well. If you don't mind, let others know about this site so they can enjoy it as well (shameful plug yes, but couldn't resist :) )! Hi Jenni.
