I'm a drummer and guitarist.
When people come over they automatically think that my neighbours have it tough to 'put up with me'. Little do they know how infrequent I play loudly for (ie, not much volume on my amp, using hot rods on my drum kit rather than sticks)
My neighbours? They have parties every month. My bedroom is right next to their backyard (actually all bedrooms of the house are on that side) to the point that my walls have shook. I then usually sleep in my living room, either on my couch or dragging a mattress in.
Only one day I snapped after a loud party and played my drums with the doors open at 6am. They didn't have a loud party for a good while after that.
I also resent them for letting their little kids run around outside on a work morning singing Xmas carols at the top of their lung at 5:45am. I used to see those damn little kids at school all the time (I was a music teacher at that school) Defiantly got my Grinch on last year at Xmas...
