Drum for Reading

happypig · Feb 19, 2017

Drums are too common. We should have someone* on a Jew's Harp.

No.

Sad indictment of us as supporters in that we can't manage to stay in time and constantly sing at 90 miles an hour.

It's like admitting defeat.....

If it's against the ground regulations, why were that godawful Sheffield Wednesday band allowed to bring one in for the England U21 International match last year?

No idea why. Last time I checked out the ground regs posted in the stadium it was forbidden. Maybe they've been changed since I looked ?

You can stick that f**king drum up your arse.

Nothing winds me up more at away games than the incessant noise of a drum and I'd really rather not have to listen to it at home as well.

It's a 5.30 Saturday kick off. Everyone will be hammered. A drum will not be required.

CAPTAIN GREALISH · Feb 19, 2017

we don't need a drum? we need all that are willing to sing in the same section

Sheebo · Feb 19, 2017

Atmo at Amex is still generally good & amongst the better atmospheres in the league. People over-analyse it. Every game.

DarrenFreemansPerm · Feb 19, 2017

OP raises a valid point, the North Stand has many singing sections, the middle can start a song, the NE will join and then the NW follow suit, 10 seconds later the rhythm has completely gone, the song goes to shit and people stop. The lack of synchronisation is made worse by people's need to sing every song on fast forward. A drum is possibly a way of getting everyone on the same page because at present it's a cacophony of nonsense.

We sing all our songs in hyper speed so no doubt said drummer will have fast muscle twitch is his drumming arm to speed things up even more.

75% of Brighton fans at the Amex can't sing SBTS properly when the words are on the screen, at away games it is done much better with the full first verse and then launching into the speeded up crapness

I still live in everlasting hope that the crapness you mention will be replaced by the actual chorus eventually.

Just get the blokes at the back of the north stand to keep banging the wall as and when needed. Problem solved no?

Well said, it's a yes from me.

It does help periodically but on a technical note can I suggest those concerned do it just the once at the start of the chant, and let the fans take over from there? Chant/clap just needs starting off and will then take care of itself. On a few occasions recently the fellas have continued banging and the timing inevitably goes cock-eyed ...

Beats the hell out of me why we need a drum, it's so European.
I'm sure the massed choir of the NS doesn't need a Muppet banging out of tune to GOSBTS.
Sorry not for me

Let's all be a little Brighton here - I suggest tambourines with little tassels on them for a more visual effect, a little shake here and there and an accompaniment with the odd triangle dotted about. My goodness, the East Stand will be rocking. :rock:

Old fashioned solution - get a metronome
Modern solution - get a phone app which has a click track that people can listen to on their headphones (same as some bands use on stage these days to keep time)

Anything but a f***ing tin pot drum!
