    Hi,

    Having problems finding a place in the €400-600 p/m price range that would allow for loud music! Seems all I can afford is a small apartment or a house share but it's been difficult to find a suitable place or people who will put up with the noise.

    I'm studying/playing and teaching in Dublin. Anyone know of anywhere or can think of possible solutions? Would be great to find fellow musicians interested in a house share.

    Cheers guys,

    Conor.

    Youre not going to find many places that will be happy to have a drummer living with/beside them Im afraid! It certainly rules out any apartments or similar type close living quarters.

    It might be a solution to get an electric drum kit to practice on while at home? Would give you some control over the noise and would allow you to play without disturbing anyone.

    Suppose you're right. It has crossed my mind. The only thing holding me back from doing that is that an acoustic kit is far more enjoyable! But I suppose sacrifices may have to be made for the time being! Thanks man.

    It depends where you end up living I suppose. If you can find a place that has a bit of land around it then youll be fine, but given your budget Im not sure how many options will be available to you.

    I understand where you are coming from; I play the guitar and as much as I would love to blast it out full volume its just not going to happen where I live (apartment building)! The drums are even harder to accomodate.

    Check this out

    It's in your price range, don't know if the area works for you. Even if not, I think you might be able to find something similar, a lot of people built detached structures/granny flats in their gardens during the boom, I've seen others advertised, it's just a question of hunting them down. :)
