Apparently playing tabla during Ramadan

Is frowned upon. I was not aware of this before I started jamming. I haven't played in almost a month and was itching to get down. After about a 30 min session, my dad told me that I shouldn't be doing this. He said the next door neighbors could hear me and it was disrespectful. I told him I didn't care. You know why? Because I don't care. That's why. All of a sudden he said what I was doing was haraam because I wasn't playing in rhythm. He started laughing. I did not find this amusing. I knew for a fact I was in rhythm. It is impossible for me not to play beautifully. It's just a fact of life. I went upstairs. Then I took a shower. I am Baliwala. I will da da tin na all night long. That is all.
