Great isn't it!

First, I agree with everyone who recommends calling the police (disturbance of the peace).  Failing that, you could do the loud music thing - just be aware that the police may show up at your door instead.

When I first moved to Denver, I lived in an apartment complex on the first floor.  The floor above was populated by a 'group' of people who would be rather inconsiderate.  Parties or noise all hours - sometimes all night into the morning.  Complaints were made to the office and one night the whole gang dropped everything out a window (including themselves) and that was the last we saw or heard of them.  I can only imagine that they had either breached their contract or had not paid the rent and were being evicted.  Good riddance...

I play guitar - electric/classical.  Classical is, of course, not that bad.  And I always restricted my practice to normal hours (10am-11pm) either way.  When in a band, we rented space to practice.  For solo practicing on electric guitar, there are these great things called 'headphones'. :)  Won't work with drums, but there are silencers that can be applied to the drum heads to quiet practice.

Now that I live on a 3.5 acre plot of land, I can basically crank the amp (2 Celestion 12") up to about 4 or 5 without being noticed - but still within normal hours.

Good luck and I suggest that it's time to seek new residence if the circus continues.
