Couple plague their neighbor with texts asking him to be silent EVERY time their baby has a nap - even when he's being quiet. So who's in the right?

Id go round and shove his sticks up his nostrils and slap him round the head with his cymbals !

It was HE who encouraged the neighbours to report to him every time it got too loud. He has only himself to blame for the harassment texts, as he now sees them. Chopping food is an acceptable noise level, but drumming would not be. Find a local sound proofed rehearsal studio, and make use of it during cheap rate hours, to practice as loud as you want. They don't charge much, and it is cheaper than moving house. You could also meet other bands looking for session drummers and pick up work and music contacts for the future.

Just set both of their houses on fire, problem solved.

Who was there first? If they were he should respect their requests. If they came in later especially with or without the child, their problem.

I'd have kicked his @ss long before I felt the need to use text messages!

The guy admitted to regularly playing his drums in a second-floor studio apartment; yet, he's surprised the neighbors complain about the noise? They complain about the other noise he makes (tv, chopping vegs.) because, generally, he makes a ton of it.

the amount of comments in support of the drummer? WHY?? if you ive in a block of flats; with someone beneath you; you CAN't play musical instruments - that's common sense; rent a garage; or a space if you want to make noise; not in an apartment block; she has been a SAINT..

If you want to practise drumming, join a freakin drumming club and do it away from everyone else. Don't do it at home. I'd complain constantly too if I could hear drumming through the walls. That said, these particular neighbours sound way over the top about noise in general. I bet they don't make any noise, do they.

Seems to me that both parties are being reasonable, and are accommodating each other's needs!

NO ONE wants a drum kit (with a partial talented drummer) at any time they are watching the TV, resting; this lad is a complete selfish man for thinking about playing drums in an apartment block; where's his parents ..

Links to Isis?

The drummer seems quite diplomatic about being complained to and is willing to try and accommodate his neighbour , however listening to other people's noise is your own home is not on, drums are not for the house unless you live in a detached property and its not affecting the quality of life of other people. The guy with the drums obviously hasn't had a baby to contend with.

Sounds like Trump followers....

FAKE

i thought that is why Americans had GUN's? - to solve problems like things

Mum asks neighbour keep the noise down, neighbour agrees to do so. Where's the story???

Some of the dates are in september and october 2016.. These dates havent happened yet

Could always buy an electric drum kit and earphones, noise sorted. Or buy practice pads to place on top of each drum which is a cheaper option!

Some apartments have almost no sound insulation, and drumming (even electronic drums) in an apartment is just not a good idea. That having been said, seems like the best idea would be to speak to the neighbors directly and find another place to practice the drums while waiting for your lease to end / looking for a more appropriate place to live. It's possible the neighbors are hearing some other tenant's TV or stereo and incorrectly assuming it's coming from the drummer upstairs. It's also quite possible that this young man simply has no real concept of how disruptive his TV, stereo and drumming are because he's young and has not yet developed a sense of empathy for this type of situation. Regardless, I see nothing here that would be indicative of the neighbor trying to get him evicted.

I only like to be awoken by the sound of the screaming woman mid orgasm.
