yea he has.. close window close everything put carpet. still damn loud.. neighbour come police come. in the end buy the pads. still damn noisy, neighbour still complain. pads still got the 'thump'
another thing is you can't 'thrash' out.. even with the pads. damn cock one la, like using paper for picks. how to play?
he lives on a 2 storey house.if on ground level.theoratically lesser noise is transferred thru the walls.but on 10th floor.woooo.like lars on rock am ring.
but to save you any effort, roughly 5 to 8k. i'm not a drummer but that amount of moolah is enough for u to consider using practice sticks and dampening pads, and hope ur neighbours are nice
