HMMMM. Sounds like my neighbours. As i told my dad, if they have a problem come and find me, talk about the problem and we'll compromise. Those idiots don't even have the balls to come find me still complain.
Since we aren't breaking the law or anything, play louder to piss them off even more. The newspaper issue pissed you off for a while. You have the power to piss them off every night.
One thing, do not ever let this stop you from drumming or even hinder you from practicing less that what you actually want.
Personally, i'm living in my parents house. My father doesn't want me to play because he wants to "face" those damn f**ked up neighbours. I dont know why. But as long as i live in his house, i live under his rules. Damn sad shit.
I'm not allowed to play drums anymore. (In the house)
