Re the "would be drummer" Miroslav. One guy I worked with (TV tech) lived out in the sticks in a pub and practiced in an old barn out back.
The drummer in our "group" (I am 73, this was Beatle's times) grew up in a terraced house but we practiced several miles away above a Working Men's Club.
Back then I think people were more tolerant of a bit of noise? These days just one barbie party and a bit of music and you would get a visit from the anti-fun police!
So, like the guy in the pub, I think you have to be very fortunate where you grow up to learn drums. TF for the advances in electronics!
Just come to me. Many families were all out at work in the daytime back then. Out of the house from 7am to at least 5pm. A young teenager probably had the street to hiself during those hours and nobody would take any notice of the moaning old biddy at #25!
Our town back then was really bustling. I can think of at least a dozen engineering and electrical companies, add to that there was a boot and shoe factory in every street. All these firms needed "men" of course but there was also an army of ladies wanted for office work (no PCs!) and cleaning.
All gone now save I think a couple of boutique B&S makers.
