The Drum

The drum has been mentioned as possibly being a reason why more people don't come and watch Stanley. Do you love it or hate it?

Love it. What happened to the promised cheer leaders though?

Re: The Drum

Your drum does keep your fans singing so that's got to be good but its a god awful sound. It's either the drum itself, what he's hitting it with or the ability of the drummer. I went to the Northwich/Woking game on tuesday and the Vics drummer was fantastic. Must be ex-Boys Brigage or something and was using sticks rather than a furry bog brush. Got a real marching rythmn going and it really drove the chanting.

Re: The Drum

I must admit that the constant drumming is tedious and suicide inducing.

Is there any chance of the drummer having some proper lessons so that it can be played, rather than simply pounded?

Re: The Drum

love to hear the drum and if the Stanley players get encouragement from it then it's gotta stay. Being of rapidly advancing years I have to add that although, living down south now, I would love to stand shoulder to shoulder with the magnificent Ultras / fellow Accringtonians - tried it once and got a headache (from which I rarely suffer) after less than 5 minutes. So now I support from just to the side to lessen the drum's impact.If folks with more sensitive hearing still have problems from a distance, then earplugs are readily available in the shops - it wouldn't stop me watching my beloved Stanley.The previous 2 posts have valid points and I don't mind chucking a tenner in the kitty if our drummer has the time / inclination to hone his skills.

Re: The Drum

Could the Accy Pipe Band not be persuaded to give a few free lessons? Their two drummers who were playing with the band on Broadway yesterday - including a little lad of no more than 8 or 9 - were superb. I'm sure they'd be glad to help.

Re: The Drum

Well i love the way it is pounded throughout the match, sends a real 'warcry' out to the opposition - brilliant!
I'd much rather have that exillerating thud than someone trying to play bloody Bach on a snare....
