I'll bet the Judges decision would have been completely opposite if that kid lived next door to the judge. I love my drums and drumming, but there is no way I would be cool with that racket going on next to me daily, hours on end.
Think about... Step back from your own set. All you hear as a neighbor is thwap, bang , crash, thump, thump,thump. For 3 hours straight? This is not a guitar that might at least resemble a melody. It's just noise. That's not lawn mowing or a leaf blower. That is equivalent to a dog barking incessantly. Unacceptable in any neighborhood. HOA or not.
I'm supportive of the arts, but you the artist, must take steps to be respectable to those around you.
If I have to shut my windows on a beautiful spring day or can't sit on my deck because the constant noise is ruining my day, I'm going to be p*ssed and I'll be having a discussion with drummer and family a lot quicker than this story.
