Get a grip. Are you actually saying that you would give up your tickets if we have a drum?! Even if some fans don't approve anyone who would be 'lost' because we had a drum are not worth having.
It's clearly going to be divisive. I fully understand that and why it's the case.
All I can say is that from the guys that are interested in being with the drum, they absolute do not want to have a drum that is constantly banging away aside from any singing. They want it to be integrated with existing singing, trying to bring all fans into the same song at the same time and maintain a uniform pace.
Everyone singing the same thing at the same time sounds good to me, but I completely get the concern.

I think a drum would deffo help the atmosphere, it doesn't have to be bashed for the full 90mins, only when songs require it, #DRUMIN

Stop being pathetic, you are going to turn your back on the club in a play off semi final because there is a drum there?

That is reassuring. There's nothing worse than hearing a lack of atmosphere described as 'amazing' and a 'cauldron' when most the sound is a drum banging away*.
*See palace*
Someone from the steel band on the bandstand could do it. At least they would have rythum.
Considered this but they wouldn't have the football knowledge required.
On that basis......
Quite a few plastics on here.
F*** the drum lovers [emoji6]
All about opinions, I actually don't wish to f*** any of you!!!

So a couple of people on a forum get together with club links and we then end up having to endure a poxy drum. It is not wanted by all the fans so why do a pocket of people get to enforce this shit on the rest of us. I remember Brighton fans mocking and chanting against plastic clubs that had drums in the past now we are going to have our own.

Thats bullshit, that's just different groups' ego's talking. You can always hear the other songs in the North, regardless of where you stand, some people / groups just don't want to hear it.
Virtually all of the best atmospheres in world football have a drum. I don't see the problem with us giving it a go once, to see if it works for us.

Some might feel the same regarding the current clamour for 'safe standing'.
At least it will give us something to blame if it all goes horribly wrong... like the clackers last time.
Exactly. If not we'll have to blame Wilson.

Germany is consistently held up as an example of this and having watched a few bundesliga games live there is a good amount of noise from be area immediately around the drum but the rest of the stadium is hardly a cauldron of noise. We forget that in Germany far more beer is consumed as you can have a beer in your seat (a change I would back) which no doubt contributes to the atmosphere.
I am not alone in this opinion I have been to many grounds that have a drum and the drone is really irritating. If fans don't sing without a drum they are not going to start just because someone is tapping away. If anything it is a feeble solution to mask the lack of chanting
