Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

All very good ideas for sound insulation. However I have been 
informed that no more drumming will be tolerated. And at $100.00 per 
infraction, I cant afford to continue playing even if I could cut 
the noise down 75%. There was a previous post that put it best "You 
just cant please some people." She gets off on making me stop 
playing, its like a power trip. I could have my case heard by the 
board, however it is comprised of her and her 3 other jobless old 
ladies. Resistance is futile! They are the type that wants to ban 
everything including fun itself. Just like Burger Mister Mister 
Burger. Flat out....Its time for me to go, the drums just pushed the 
date forward a little. I have called my realitor and will seek a 
peaceful solution for us both. I am selling my piece of s%#t condo 
with attached walls. I will buy a place with a garage next and I 
wont be attached to my neighbor so I wont have to worry about it. So 
for all of you for whom its not too late, I urge you to follow some 
of these methods for sound insulation. It will really save you with 
your neighbors when it comes to drumming.
