An Experiment. Update.
Well, well, well. So far, it seems my platform is working! I can tell you that I’ve practiced each of the last six days with no complaints. I’ve tried to play in the early afternoons or evenings, so I’m not pushing my luck by playing at all hours of the night. But, I’m also not playing timid - practicing along to the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins doesn’t lend itself to playing timid. Even by laying into the pads pretty good, no one has knocked on my door, called the police, left nasty notes on my door or called my landlord. So far so good!
It’s given me a renewed appreciation for having my electronic drums. The tones still annoy me, but they’re a great practice tool.
