Cop Joins Rock Band on Drums After Lame Neighbors Complain About Noise

To be fair, the cop's drumming is a bit too sloppy for the genre.

Typically, when the fuzz show up to your reasonably raging house show in response to a noise complaint, this means said house show is fucking over. For Ontario-based rock band Vinyl Ambush, however, things went a little differently. The band—with members ranging in age from 15 to 19—was convinced their birthday party set in Mississauga this weekend was set for a shutdown when Peel Regional Police showed up.

At first, the two responding officers asked the group to lower the amp volume. After catching a few songs from the band's set, the officers left the residence. Less than an hour later, they returned. One of the officers then asked the band if he could join them on drums to perform in front of the "75 or so" party attendees, CBC Newsreported Sunday.

"Everybody was in shock," Tom Bjelic, the father of Vinyl Ambush's bassist Corwin, said. "Nobody could believe what they were seeing. Even the neighbors got into it. Everyone was so stoked to see it go down." According to City News, Peel police first received a noise complaint around 6:30 p.m. Saturday evening. It's unclear whether whoever called in the complaint later joined the party to watch a cop play drums. It's entirely clear, however, that anyone who calls in a noise complaint for something like this is incurably lame.

According to local reports, the cop had performed in a variety of bands himself and provided some advice to the young band "about how to make it in a tough industry." Presumably, this advice was related to the music industry, not the cop industry.
