Robin 101 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Seeing as there has been a bit of difference in opinion over the drums I would be interested to see what the majority view on OTIB is? Obviously this will only represent a small amount of fans but would still be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyseconds Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Chaps are deaf in one ear now in the Eastend. Should be a tour. Months residence in each stand. Fairs fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Can someone not just get the drummers a metronome? The bulk of the complaints see to be about the quality of the playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartcliffe red Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I really do feel people are being bit harsh on them.they do generally stick to drums on songs with a beat.if they do get a bit excited its because they love city not to pis5 fans off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaxbourton Red Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 drumming for the sake of it is awful. Keep the frequency down - maybe only 4 or 5 times per match. Most of our proper songs don't really need a drum so use sparingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted December 30, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 From the Dolman it does sound like every song is accompanied by a drum beat. I'm more old school, prefer an atmosphere without one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 From the Dolman it does sound like every song is accompanied by a drum beat. I'm more old school, prefer an atmosphere without one Football fans make a beat be it clapping or bashing sheet metal that make up the stand. Great atmospheres often involve a drum, just our lads are perhaps not quite there with how to use it. How about we get together to get them drum lessons and how to use them properly, opposed to wild bashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 If correctly utilised, the drums could be a real asset, as long as the old adage "less is more" is kept in mind. That's not me having a go at the drummers, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Don't think it matters much any more to be honest. There's only 10 home games left this season before the East End is ripped down (and I'd wager it'll happen before the end of the year anyway, so possibly only 7 or 8 games left in there). Plus one of those will be MK Dons when most of the "old school" EE-ers will not be in the EE. For what it's worth though - the drum is good for the "clap-clap-clap-clap - CITY" chant. The "duh-duh-duh-duh duh duh duh City" chant. And for keeping "Forza Eastenders" or "Red Army" in time. Those should be the ONLY 4 songs which need the drum. All other songs don't need it and are better "au naturale". Still - won't matter in 4 months as everyone will have to move elsewhere and the current 'freedoms' entitled us in the EE (standing, flags etc) will no longer be permitted.

Some great memories in the eastend, a sad thought that it will soon be a pile of rubble. As pathetic as it sounds, almost brings a tear to my eye thinking of all the great memories in there as a boy and even now. Once it's gone it will never be the same again at AG. I hope the club works their ******* socks off to ensure that the eastend keeps its unique feel. They won't move us out before the end of the season, that will cause too much disturbance with season ticket holders in there. Let's just ensure the last game in there is a celebration, go ******* mental and say goodbye to the old place, because once it's gone and re-built it won't be the eastend anymore.

The problem in the East End is that since the away support were housed there half a dozen of them can sound like an army thus giving a psychological boost to them and diluting our own supporters efforts . The redesign must do something to balance this out ,in our favour evidently. As for the drums,used properly they can really drive the crowd and the team on. The club could get some good publicity If they gave lessons to our ,ahem,musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowshed Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I don't mind them, but then - I don't sit next to them! The poll is of interest. I suspect the numbers who do not appreciate their drumming would be even higher in the stand. Despite the drummers telling others "everybody" likes it, don't like it tough, do one etc all they are being asked to do is moderate their behaviour and consider another block.

Guest Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Each to his/her/their own i.m.o. Really does it matter, same goes for sitting, standing, flags, singing fast/slow etc,etc, whatever happened to freedom of choice and enjoying the game however you want to. Just because banging drums fast, slow, all the time, none of the time dosen`t float some fans boats dosent mean we should stop their enjoyment of doing so.

WhistleHappy Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 http://youtu.be/sIBZrX5eoI8 Football fans make a beat be it clapping or bashing sheet metal that make up the stand. Great atmospheres often involve a drum, just our lads are perhaps not quite there with how to use it. How about we get together to get them drum lessons and how to use them properly, opposed to wild bashing How about creating a platform somewhere within the ground for 'guest' drummers to bash out a few good rhythms on real drum kits? If the kid below can do it surely it aint impossible to get someone/guests in on a match by match basis,,, the enthusiastic 'bashers' we already have can join in and we BCFC Ashton Gate could become famous for it.... Nothing wrong with a bit of creative crowd participation for creating a special bit of unique atmosphere... The six year old below does a pretty decent job with the appropriate Paradise City... (specially around 4mins in) ... there must be some decent drummers here abouts who could do a decent job with familiar City related tunes... I reckon they'd be queuing up to have a bash along with an Ashton Gate crowd. Lets do something 'special'... a bit ot scaffolding & a platform & mic wouldn't break the bank.
