We need a drum don't we?

[Bozza]

Why do we NEED a drum, just because OTHER teams have one?

Agreed. And we are Brighton. Let's have a harp instead. Or, failing that, a didgeridoo.

The reason the drum was unobtrusive was because the Derby fans were singing, which drowned it out. Thumping a drum in the midst of an apathetic crowd gives you the sound of... a drum. Thumping it when 20,000 of the 30,000 are already yelling themselves hoarse, you've got atmosphere. Not for me - we just have to make more bloody noise ourselves, basically.

I'd be open to the idea if it was only a small drum that doesn't completely drown out the singing and is used by someone with some sort of rhythm.. Too many away games we've had people bang on the back wall at twice the speed of any song.

Salsa, African, Reggae?

Salsa, African, Reggae?

In the spirit of the world cup I'd go for some samba.

There will be a murder trial if a drum is used any where near me.

Don't sit at the back or at the front of the North Stand and we'll be fine.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Another dreadful idea brought out every now and again to wind people up, beat it.

 

[tomfitz12]

why would we get a drum and make it subtle? surely that defeats the point of a drum?

 

[bristolseagull]

maybe a snare? or we could use one of those brushes?

 

[Lethargic]

Leave the drums to the tinpot teams, what we need is one of those great big wurlitzers coming up out of the ground in the South east corner where nobody ever sits booming out some traditional cheesy rhythms.

 

[KingstonSeagull]

I think we should have song sheets handed out on the gate and at a specific time we sing specific songs....

 

[Return of the Rev]

Its time for a big drum

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Bring it on......

Or some black hoodies?

 

[goldstone68]

I must admit that the bloke who starts banging the metal sign behind him in the north stand does get the crowd together as one singing, that is until the steward tells him to stop it, then it all goes to s**t.

 

[Return of the Rev]

or some black hoodies?

both!

 

[Caveman]

.And a bell?

What we need are recorders! Can you imagine 24k playing gosbts on recorders. My eyes are wet at the thought of it.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

If we have recorders, then a bass/double bass will be needed to even the tone. Any volunteers for the Bruce Foxton bit?
