I have no problems with the drum or the drummer! But i seem to find myself singing songs at a much slower pace with a drum that doesn't sound right?

If we are keeping the Drum please SPEED up a tad, cos our songs are losing their fierceness and starting to sound like an orchestrical predicted slow-mo! Oh, and PLEASE PLEASE leave a few minutes of pause to allow fans to start OTHER songs for a bit, rather that the same old shit! cheers :ayatollah:

here is my view on the drum.

The drum can be used to create an atmosphere if it is used correctly, continuous rythemless beating of a drum is not working. IT will do some peoples head in, some fans might even stop coming because of this.

The drum needs to be used to get the crowd singing, and gain momentum of a song. once the song is in full swing, stop drumming, let the crowd soak it up. Also, the drummer needs to understand when to use the drum and when to not, this will come over time. when the crowd is siging at its fullest, do we need to the drum....no.

If the crowd is continuously singing them why beat the drum, the crowd is doing the atmosphere, we dont need sudden beating just for the sake of it.

The drum needs to become secondary to the crowd, not the crowd secondary to the drum. this is what it is at the moment. It needs to be an addded alternative to help spice up the atmosphere, not just beating the drum for the sake of it to try and get the crowd going.

I;m sure over time, things will pan out, the drummer, will learn when to use it ansd when to not and also what songs work and dont etc...

You pretty much summed it up, Vince needs to read these comments.

The bass drum needs to be put away, the other drum was better.

My view on the drum today. No offence to the bloke but it sounded AWFUL. It makes the atmosphere worse if anything. We all need to tap the person next to us on the shoulder and have a word and tell them to sing up! :)
