Hi all,
I think I posted something similar a while ago when my housemate reported my drumming to the landlord. I was never playing overly loud (put towels over all drums and didn’t touch the cymbals) or for extended periods. At the time it was agreed between me and him that I would keep it down which I did. I even recently purchased a remo silent stroke for my 13” mapex picollo. Just tonight however I got an angry message from the housemate saying he has reported me again as he was sick of it going on for months. Needless to say I was more than a bit surprised and annoyed, especially seeing as I hadn’t heard a single complaint from him or any of the other 5 people living in the house in the entire time I’ve been living here.
I apologized and tried reasoning with the guy but he is refusing to talk to me. I was going to turn the tables on him and truthfully tell him his snoring has kept me awake for months but I chose the moral high ground. It just annoys me that no one I have ever lived with (a lot of people) have ever had an issue and I tell everyone if there’s anything untoward I am only a door knock or phone call away. He did neither, therefore there’s no issue, right?
Messaged my landlord and explained I had no knowledge there was even a problem but that I would cease all noise including watching TV (yes he complained about that too), and moving stuff around the room (oh yes he moaned about that one too). The landlord was thankful and appreciative that I sorted this out in a timely manner and as far as he is concerned there’s no further action to be taken.
Just a shame that one person is forcing me out of what was a very peaceful place to live.
