Title: Drums
Description: played legally
pudboy - September 12, 2007 08:26 PM (GMT)
OK so I am not being allowed to play drums in the house i own. Feckin women. Anyhow apparently she tells me it is illegal to play drums in your house in the UK at any time. That is complete bollocks and I know it.
I have played drums at numerous houses I have lived in. Even consulting with neighbours on occasion beforehand. Surely it is OK to play then between say 12PM and 4PM saturdays? Does anyone have a link to a site that shows that this dumb bint who is nagging me is really a dumb bint?
it is getting to the point whereby in retaliation i am gonna ban all "girly" things in the house just in case we have some neighbours who will be upset - fuckin dumb beeeeyatch :madfire:

Under the Noise Act 1996 Local Authorities must serve a warning notice between the hours of 11pm and 7am at a premises where excessive noise is being emitted and if it were measured from within the complainant’s dwelling, would or might exceed the permitted level.
The permitted level is to be a level applicable to noise as measured from within any other dwelling in the vicinity by an approved device used in accordance with any conditions subject to which the approval was given. Different permitted levels may be determined for different circumstances, and the permitted level may be determined partly by reference to other levels of noise.
A person is guilty of an offence if the warning notice is not complied with. A person guilty of an offence is liable on summary conviction not exceeding level 3.
Officers may give that person the opportunity of discharging any liability to conviction for that offence by payment of a fixed penalty, currently £100.
An officer of the local authority may enter the dwelling from which the noise in question is being or has been emitted and may seize and remove any equipment which it appears is being or has been used in the emission of the noise. |

thanks man - kind of
but that law seems to belong to an establishment gaining a coucil licence for loud music or something
I am talking a private dwelling - but seeing as my noise level should not be above level 3 - it would be intertesting to know what decibles are allowed at a certain time of day in a private dwelling (not a public house)
man it is eating me up cos i really need to play on my kit right now - new band in the making and new stuff to work on
jamming for 8 hrs a week aint good enough when you are writing - i could always get an electric type kit but how can you write on that shit? it never sounds the same :angry:

I was gonna but the bitch don't even listen. So I have been trying to get something in print which cannot be denied. I think I will just have to get one of those electric practice kits in the tech section a few months ago anyhow just to keep the fuckin peace. We have had big rows so I don't see where noise is a problem - the whole fuckin area knows about it cos the rows have been that loud :lol:
And another downpoint of the police is that they probably would not know. It took 5 police stations to find out if some very minor old convictions of mine had to be mentioned on job application forms. 2 told me within 3 years, one said 5 years one said 8 years and one said you must always disclose this info. they aint bothered in what these things do to you - they are just out to arrest people. I could swear merseyside police get paid on a commision basis.

why buy an electric kit, can't you just buy some drum dampeners to reduce the sound?
these for example -

That's the price you pay for living with your mum i suppose.

Nah - it was the price I paid for going to uni and getting involved in house-shares with people. I should never have brought her here. But luckily she has moved out now and I got a 2 bed terraced all to myself - and I have had the past week off work due to exam leave and so plenty of drums have been getting played :metal2: and no complaints from any neighbours (which has saved me having to tell somebody to "fuck off" on my doorstep :lol: )

That's good man. Thankfully my neighbours have never complained. Well there was once but it was my neighbours wife. He never complained. Other then that no one has. I would take the same approach as you. Play at reasonable times and if anyone gets mad just tell them where the fuck to stick it!!
