Shoutout to the roommate who hung his drum kit on the wall to save floor space

My old roommate Dave played drums and our apartment was maybe 600 square feet, so he mounted his whole kit on the living room wall like some kind of art piece. I had two choices: deal with it or move out, and I picked deal with it because rent was $650 and I was not finding that again. For 7 months I ate dinner staring at a hi-hat, and every time he practiced, the cymbals rattled the nails in my bedroom wall. The kick drum was the worst part, you could feel it through the floor from two rooms away. I finally moved out in March and my new place is dead quiet, but honestly the wall drums were kind of impressive. Has anyone else lived with a musician who turned the apartment into a storage unit for their hobby?
