How the hell did you get me to the front page of a news website on another continent?!
I don't know what to do. Do I... Take the day off? Should I go try to get VIP treatment at Denny's or something? @N4chtm4hr told me to buy a lottery ticket... I promise to split it with him if I win.
But seriously, guys. WTF.

Text them every time their baby cries. Ask them to move it to a different room or keep it quiet for the next 2 hours while you nap.
PoeticSoul
Scary Mommy picked it up, and totally wrote it in your favor too. It's going viral for sure.
RinnelSpinel
My husband has a similar kit, I've heard people go up and down stairs more loudly.
TheInstrumentalist
I like the idea of calling the police non emergency number and playing for them without telling your neighbors.
ImVeryDisturbedByThis
Show this to apartment management. They should be reasonable or you will GRANT A TELL ALL INTERVIEW!
etherealAffairs
Electronic drum kits aren't even loud though, my unplugged Rock Band kit is probably louder than my electronic kit.
Dudeofallteenages
It's usually the pedal that does it, I've heard. It amplifies downward even if it doesn't seem loud in the same room.
ChefShwasty
I actually made the Rockband argument.

On the bright side, you have enough official sources now to create a wikipedia page.

Shouldn't have given them your number

best response i can think of is "motherfucker, i'm not even home."

@OP stash the drum set at a friends place then tap your foot on the floor a bit. Once neighbors start complaining tell them it's not you 1/2
dpidcoe
keep it polite but let it escalate. Once cops/managers are involved invite them in to see there's no drumset. Take set back in a few days2/2

I think you are on to something here.

Pack the drums up and leave a Pi device you can call to play recorded faint drum solos while you're at work. Point out how crazy they are...

@op - you should probably mail them an evelope full of glitter or a bag full of dicks. That always makes problems get better.

Hold up, hold up: did you say NEWS website? This is the Daily fucking Mail. They make buzzfeed look like the 70's era Washington Post.

Probably suggested before, but borrow a real drum set, practice for a week, then go back to your old set. It'll magically stop complaints.

I roomed with someone like that too! I'd get yelled at for being up late, early, middle of day just for walking around or going to pee
CabinOnWheels
Same here. I had a roommate that would get mad when myself or my other roommates made any noise. It was miserable, walking on eggshells.

Does he text them back to be quiet every time the baby cries?
ChefShwasty
No, I don't. I don't want to be rude.
Unverified
Your neighbors certainly don't mind
MustardKiss
My new neighbours baby never shuts up crying. I've never wanted to smother a child so much.
LatchHookRug
8 hour overnight flight. Baby screeching the entire. fucking. time. Parents slept through it. Seriously considered infanticide, wasn't alone
KuteKittenKoats
Fuck politeness. These people kept you from living your life cause they have a snot rocket that sleeps. Tell them to keep it down!
whereintheworldisfozziebear
Dude. At some point you're gonna have to pull yer balls down and do something. This is effecting your life. Your sanity.
whereintheworldisfozziebear
Why are they allowed to be assholes, but you "don't want to be rude". You don't have to be an asshole back, but you should stand up for

yourself and your rights. You don't have to fight fire with fire, or with water. Sometimes you need chemicals. Think outside of the box.

it's a dumb idea to quiet down for a babies nap. My daughter can tolerate high volume because we didn't ask others to quiet down...ever
Taxicat
Learned how to sleep through anything after surviving daycare up through junior high (to stay in same school district).
SuperColaQueen
This a thousand times. My little niece sleeps through the sewing machine, 3 dogs barking outside her window, the TV on. Not every kid is the
SuperColaQueen
...same but for the most part they love their sleeping time more than anything
PopkinSandwich
Me too homes, we throw on a white noise machine, but the fucker could sleep through loud restaurants when he was a few months younger
Whynn
This. My house is a studio with no separate bedrooms so when my kids were little, I purposefully didn't tiptoe around.
idislikecomingupwithuniqueusernames
Friend of mine used to play Metallica to get her daughter to sleep. Kid would sleep through anything :)
kansas555
When my son was a baby, the only way my friend who babysat him could get him to sleep was Voodoo by Godsmack lol.
Cere4l
i could sleep through metallica (or someone drumming as long as theres variation) but i wake up from pretty much any normal sound
ratfaceddog
"...and never mind that noise you heard"
SanSamis
Made the mistake with my 1st kid, not with my 2nd. The now-21-year-old still needs it quiet. 15-year-old could sleep through a hurricane.
scarletcloak
This makes me think that there's a reason my older sibling is a light sleeper and I'm not. Haha!
ilukaperi
Yeah im such a light sleeper because mum was always quiet when I went to bed. Its annoying because I wake up if my bf rolls over at night.
koppenhagen57
Yeah, babies can nap anywhere, my kids have fallen asleep at the bowling alley before.
1metalnation
My daughter will sleep through a damn earthquake, it's awesome
PitchforkSalesperson
As a baby I used to sleep next to a compressor, as an adult ain't no power in the world that can wake me up.

My 8 month old nephew slept through about 35 mortar shells outside his window on the 4th of July
purplecumbrella
I agree. You develop overall better sleeping habits throughout life when you're used to noises.
byohzzrd
This. My wife would get so mad when I'd talk normally during naptime. I WANT them to be able to sleep through normal conversation levels.
CKOD
Father was stationed at a Navy air station when I was young. Slept though planes starting and idling, taxiing and taking off nearby
Maxwell2813
I once slept through a category 5 cyclone here in Australia, cyclones are like tornados but they don't hit the ground and category 5 (1/?)
Maxwell2813
And this one cyclone in particular was powerful enough to take out the category 5 weather station that is made to monitor them powerful(2/?)
Maxwell2813
cyclones (3/3)
jp189512
if you quiet down for the nap they'll just get used to the silence and wake up at anything above it.
gimme
Same, TV is on, people are talking normally, showers are run. They'll be pain in the ass kids if you don't let them used to noise.
miamimiki
This is and isn't good. I'm a heavy sleeper because of that, but I will sleep through the fire alarm in my house. But I agree with you.
PolarHailStorm
Your comment reminded me I actually slept through a house fire some years ago. Woke up with black marks all over my mouth and nose.
Threewisemen
I slept through those loud ass fire alarms in college, sober. 800 people in my dorm; I was the only one.
miamimiki
I'm scared that one day I will do that.
Toasterpops
Should get the smoke detectors they use for small children, children don't react to alarms either. But they do react to saying their name
ArtOfKarolMichalec
How do u use an alarm clock?
SpruceCaboose
I'm kinda similar, but I just use a really obnoxious and loud thing as my alarm. Startles the fuck out of me and wakes me up.
miamimiki
I don't.. I use my cats. If I don't feed them early enough they jump on me until I get up.
YourJimmiesAreMadeForRustlingAndThatsJustWhatIllDo
For me, alarm clocks only worked sometimes... until I got a loft bed.Has saved my educational & professional life. That and LOUD alarm clock
KittyArcher
I set it to flashy lights and vibration. I also use a phone.
IUseMyDickAsAPillow
I don't wake up from an alarm either
pres2pond
I used to be able to wake up for an alarm. But then my body learned to shut off the alarm WITHOUT WAKING UP.
historyboeuf
I've started to use my "smart alarm" It plays increasing louder music so it like invades your dream and then wakes you up because its weird
Drbubbles47
I used to have an alarm that had a little helicopter thing on top that would fly away when it went off.You had to retrieve it to turn it off
