Agree.
I'm running butt naked across the pitch with my ST card firmly planted in my crack before farting it out in front of Chris and the bench if this happens!

Think I`ve just changed my mind.....Bang that drum!!!
No, if we have a drum someone will want a trumpet next, and then what? A band
Plenty on here like to blow their own..

Voted no but would not be averse if the drummer was on a par with the one at Boro. But a spotty oik with one stick bashing aimlessly away on a drum is very naff.

No drum or goal music whilst Martin Perry is at club as he said 'over my dead body' totally agree with him. My Palace mates hate the drummer as they think it's embarrassing. Get a drum and you will stop me and others going. Think If there was a vote, the no drum would win, I bloody hope. Rant over.

Been torn since the weekend.
Go to somewhere like Reading on a Tuesday night with the ground half full, and it's annoying & sounds desperate. The Huddersfield lads tried hard too, but I thought they killed the atmosphere a bit by banging randomly every time anybody in the Albion contingent tried to get any songs started.
I also think it depends massively on the drummer, as [MENTION=12880]Hotchilidog[/MENTION] says, you need to know when to get on it, and when to shut up. That takes somebody with the ability to spot the right moment, as well as the ability to actually pick the right rhythm and hit the thing in time. Saturday was a great atmosphere, but we've all seen televised games from the Riverside this season. They haven't all been like that, not by a long shot.
I'd be interested to see what happened if we could find somebody good enough. It's still a million miles away from goal music IMHO. That should never happen (and I think the Albion have long said it wouldn't).

Let's give it a go and see if it helps.
At the risk of going over old ground, the problem in the North isn't so much groups that deliberately compete, it's just the hardcore singers and song leaders are not grouped together. If they were all in the middle of the North, we'd all be singing one song at a time and making a MUCH better noise.
If a drummer - or a bloke with a megaphone - or a team of people in gorilla suits playing triangles - helps keep people together and singing as one, let's get on with it.

although the atmosphere has improved immensely in the last few home games, I am all for something that will only continue to make it louder and more hostile, if a drum does that then I am in the yes camp

Rather have a drum than clackers as long as its in the north far away from me.

The atmosphere is just for the fans . When anyone plays at home they players say 'the fans are the 12 man' yet when they play away they say 'we are professionals it does not affect us'. Boro didn't win on Saturday because they had a drum.
