I never like confrontation

As I have mentioned previously, I live in a block of units and my common wall neighbour is from India.
For the previous 6 months he has been playing the drums. The kind that are played with the hands. Tabla.
This is very annoying as he plays them for at least 2 hours at night, sometimes 3 hours.
Tonight I am asleep at 9.30, I rise for work at 5am. He starts playing the drums and wakes me up.
I finally said to myself, "This is not on" so I went and knocked on his door, he did not hear me so I bang on his window.
He comes to the door and I say that I have put up with his nightly drumming for 6 months but I have had enough.
(Condensed version) - "You live in a block of units surrounded by neighbours. You never hear anything from them. Show some respect for your neighbours"
He said, "I understand, sorry, sorry, sorry."
I go back to bed and relate my story here.

Hang a metal plate against the wall and hit it with hammers like you would playing the drums everytime he plays his

@Jamesy I never thought of hanging something on the wall to hit. I thought about hitting my wall with a hammer but that would only damage my wall.
Anyway, he stopped immediately
