BOOM BOOM CRASH CRASH! Welcome To Your New Home! Do Not Complain!

On Saturday afternoon, after emerging from the woods behind Oakdale Lake and onto the DSS driveway, I heard the unmistakable sound of drums ahead of me.  I assumed it was the marching band practicing in the Firestation parking lot, but it turned out not to be.  When I reached the Firestation, I could hear the crash of cymbals and the boom of a bass drum further south on 7th Street as if there was live music at the Depot Brewery.  Sure enough, there was a rock band playing at the brewery, with drums, electric amplified instruments and an amplified voice.  Except that the drummer and his kit were not inside the building with the others.  That band member and his instrument were actually situated outside the building underneath a tent beyond the back door, with the rest of the band presumably just inside the door.  Anyone standing outside, even on the street, could hear little else than the drums.  Boom Boom Boom Crash Crash Crash Boom Boom. 

I'm thinking that the drummer was set up outside for a reason or two (I've noticed the same thing during other live shows at the brewery).  Either the space inside is not large enough to accommodate the entire band or the drums inside would drown out the rest of the band and be too loud for patrons.  Of course, the drummer was wailing away on his kit no more than 50 feet away from the 63-unit apartment building being built directly behind him.

Won't the sounds of future drummers outside the brewery be too loud for the tenants in the 63-unit apartment building situated less than a stone's throw away?  Will Galvan or the brewery owners figure out a way to keep the doors closed during live shows with the drummers inside the building by the time the enormous multi-story apartment building next door is ready to be occupied?  Or will the brewery just have to stop offering live music on the weekends?  Or will Galvan have a special stipulation in every tenant's lease agreement?  Something like:  Live amplified music with outside drumming performed by possibly the region's worst cover bands must be tolerated by all tenants during certain weekend live music events next door at the Depot Brewery.  One complaint about noise from said live music will immediately null and void this lease agreement and tenants must leave the premises within one week.  Close your windows or leave town for the weekend if you do not want to be bothered by possibly the region's worst cover bands that go really heavy on the drums.  You have been forewarned.

You know, that's not out of the realm of possibilities from Galvan, now is it?
