You may need to turn your stereo up extra loud; that's OK since you need to be able to hear it over the sound of your kit. Perhaps the same song as many times as you can fit it on a CD so you don't need to move to restart it, or just set your CD player on repeat.
Trust me, it will not matter what you're playing. If you start playing drums, from any genre, in an apartment, condo, townhouse or even your own house, people will be pissed.

Also please, for the love of God, do not pick what you're going to play based on "hooks" or other people's preferences. There is waaaaay too much of that going on these days. Turn your radio off and explore what's out there on the 'net.

One more thing.....DOUBLE KICK!
