I always thought there was a generally understood rule that drums go in the basement where they won't bother the neighbors as much.
Attics also seem to be a popular choice of rehearsal space.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

But in the basement, the concrete and the ground muffle the sound.

For the musicians as well, however.

True, but the entire neighborhood doesn't need to hear them practicing for four hours. I didn't have to put up with this much noise when I was living in an apartment building. (These are the same neighbors who have three big dogs who bark for about twenty minutes straight every morning at 6:30.)

I did plenty. Spent all the moneys. But got lots for the money.
I would like ita's cake in a bowl, now, thx.
Connie, if your parents do not want the cassoulet, I would eat it! Nom, cassoulet.

ita, did you use self-rising flour? Is it necessary? Or could I just use all-purpose flour?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Propaganda posters urge you to keep calm and shoot Nazi dinosaurs
When Hitler's dino-hordes storm Normandy, will you have the wherewithal to beat them back? Allied propaganda posters from a lizard-filled WWII urge you to take arms against these Jurassic Nazis, while Axis posters tout raptors as the strength of Germany.
These propaganda posters are actually promotions for the video game Dino D-Day, which finally gets its release on Steam next month. So you can enjoy hunting Nazi dinosaurs from the comfort of your living room.
This recruiting poster cracked me up: [link]

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Hil, call the local police if there is a non emergency number. If it's makin yr walls shake, it's almost certainly in violation of any local noise ordinances.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita, did you use self-rising flour? Is it necessary?
I used 1 tsp of baking powder. Rose just fine. It's a decent, uninspiring chocolate cake (I halved the sugar). I suspect that if I'd had Nutella I'd snarfing this down and making another. As it is, I'm happy with it, and you can't beat the cleanup.
