That video's been up on YT for nearly 6 months and not a single response or comment. Can't think why. Only 29 views, too - presumably most being from members of the band and people who were there, the others being Fishmonger, Miss LH, and me.
If the Senegalese have a "talking" drum in their culture, Do the Irish have a "Slagging" drum in the bodhran? Just asking from a cultural-anthropologist's viewpoint.
I was about to cry, hearing what that well-meaning stranger was doing with that poor innocent talking drum on Drowsey Maggie.
If you like that drum, sir, why are you abusing it so?
Oh, well. A nice idea whose time has not yet arrived.
(Perhaps it is time to try sackbut instead.)
A little perspective...
A little perspective...
...for any of you who may think bodhrans or djembes are obnoxious. I guess even I have my limitations.

Re: A little perspective...
That's all right--no one was really playing music to begin with, so the "percussion" wasn't damaging anything.

I really like the stick he uses. Nice curve to it. I'd like to have one for to scratch my back and other things I'll not mention.

Nah, he made that drum himself and he's just nailing the end on.

Nah, that's a beer keg, and he's just trying to open it before the end of the tune so the band can have a drink.

Re: A little perspective...
Ah, yes - the west African "talking" drum
Here's what it is supposed to sound like in it's proper context -

That African guy makes the talking drum sound really cool. They are all having so much fun. I love it.

That video is now up to 96 viewings (as of 0215 hrs GMT). I think there's something know as the Horrid Fascination Effect starting to happen.

Yep, deffo HFE. Like old reels of the Hindenberg disaster, you know what's going to happen, but you can't pry your eyes away....

Re: A little perspective...
Who cares about the drum? If you want to turn it into music, the first thing you need to do is shoot the bass guitarist.
