Andy Torres was practicing playing the drums Saturday morning, when his music apparently made another man so angry, he attacked the musician with an ax.
“With no warning, just came up from behind … it was very scary, it was surreal,” Torres said.
Torres was wearing his heavy metal costume and mask, practicing his drumming at Todd Longshore Park in Canyon Country just after 7 a.m. Saturday.
He says the attacker came at him in a rage and destroyed his $500 portable drum set.
“He could’ve simply told me to shut up, to quiet down and I would have obliged,” Torres said.

I feel a degree of pity for the ax man. How does a male get to be that age and still not know how to swing an ax?
I wonder if it is valid, if extreme, artistic criticism - “Your drumming sucks so much we need to ensure you can’t drum any more today.”
Exactly!
Was he playing Careful With That Axe, Eugene?
“Man with drum set found dead in park Saturday morning.
The act-obnoxious-and-post-it-to-social-media fad is nearing its end.
“If he would’ve axed me, I would’ve stopped playing.”
If it’s too loud, you’re too old.
“Looks like a hoax?”
Appears that Axman had had enough.
Thanks, Gene, now get back to your nursing home.
Give the axeman a medal.

Yeah I doubt he would have obliged.
That doesnt mean I approve of the ax maniac.
But generally people making noise like that don’t stop when asked. They usually get offended and keep making noise, often louder than before. They never stop to think in the first place what they might want to do might bother others. They don’t think by the Golden Rule and put themselves in others shoes, would this bother me if someone next to me did this? If so, maybe not do it.
Go ask your neighbors to quiet down and see the nice responses you get. Its a wonderful pleasant experience and the always “oblige”.
I took the paperwork by Temecula Harley where all the maintenance had been done. They bike was originally a rental at that store. Dropped once and repaired. The woman selling it was the first owner post life as a rental. I found lots of little "repairs" that should have been done. The most serious was the rear brake caliper bolt was cross threaded on reassembly. $300 to replace the damaged part. The rest was missing covers on the swing arm, worn pegs, a scratched battery compartment cover. Little stuff.
That guy in the pic does have a certain somethin’ somethin’ goin’ on. His expression just says “Drum time is OVER”.
There's respect.
And noise ordinances.
My sympathies go out to the axe weilder trying to sleep in.
What time do you have to get up to haul and set up an entire drum kit to a park at 6:30 in the morning. It sounds like a Meth head Up All Night.
A neighbor in our little valley would drive his Harley up a steep hill at 6:50 workday mornings. On weekends, no noise at all.
Where could I rent a drumset on weekends and learn the art? ;)
“I mean I was just making a lot of noise on Saturday at 7am and some guy was pissed. I don’t understand!”
