Shambles - this "loud percussive bang" of yours - is it accompanied by shouts of "yes! yes!!YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!" by any chance?! Don't knock it - there are many men out there who would kill for this effect. And women too, ooh, be-lieve me! The neighbours are generally less keen on this kind of music though.......! Gives a whole new meaning to Rise Up Singing!! Sorry, sorry sorry!!
