BessexRED Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Polite request this, from myself and several other City fans I spoke to yesterday who shared the same view. I can just about tolerate the drum at home games now, I don’t think we need it but in fairness to the drummer he’s usually okay. Yesterday can’t have been the same drummer, it was absolutely terrible and we don’t need a drum in away ends. Atmosphere at home games are pretty average as is the norm in this country, but our away atmospheres are still decent more often than not and a drum doesn’t help that, it sounds dreadful and it’s incredibly tinpot. So, as I said, a polite request on behalf of me and many other City fans if the drummer reads this forum or someone knows him that can pass the message on — leave it at home.

Selred Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I disagree. I think it helps the atmosphere & gets people singing which is very much needed. Not sure really why you and a few mates think you have a right to tell people what not to bring to games..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need some samaritan trying to “create an atmosphere” when there’s always a good atmosphere at our away games anyway. As for the trumpet suggestion, jesus wept.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Whoever it was they were absolutely horrendous at it. The drummer at home games is good and it can be effective, but that yesterday was doing my head in. Blackburn’s right back has the ball for example and they’re smacking it for no reason and to no tune, just purely for the sake of doing so. Bizarre and seemed like they just wanted a bit of attention. Bin it off I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippin cider Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Having played drums for over 30 years you have to have someone who at least has a sense of rhythm otherwise it will sound awful ....maybe that’s the problem I don’t know but if a drum is played out of time it’ll eventually drive you mad ! ....

I think we now rely on the drum at home too much, to the point where the atmosphere is poor without it. Away, however, our atmospheres are generally pretty good so there's no need for the drum - plus whoever was drumming at Blackburn was too overzealous with it and was doing my head in by the end!
