drummer

[Cricko]

Sorry chaps and chapesses, but I'm going to spoil the party here. The drum was responsible for stopping many of the chants spreading through the whole crowd, especially in the first half. When the singing section got a song started the drummer bashed the drum so loudly that the surrounding areas couldn't hear the chant that had been started and so the chant went nowhere, drowned out by the drum. It was so frustrating. Just because you can bang a drum loudly dosent necessarily mean you are doing anything good. The drummer needs to go away and learn how to blend his drumming rhythm in with the song that's starting. He needs to understand how his drum can contribute and not take away. It isn't about banging out a counter beat that has no relevance to the song trying to be developed through the stands. It's about harmonising.

Booooooo! if you had known half of the anquish and grief we had with the staff at Wembley over the drum and who had upset Dan to the brink of tears before the game had even started you might be a little more sympathetic.

The young lads did all they could and Dan said himself.. "We had a duty to do and we had to step up"

Brilliant effort IMO.. :clap:

Last time, the atmosphere was awful- we had no drum.
This time, the atmosphere was brilliant- we had the drum.

Of course there are other factors but it is no co-incidence that the atmosphere was so much better with the drum.

Its very difficult to take some posts on here seriously, this is top of the list . If you have this distorted opinion there is no point in even trying to explain to you why you are wrong.

We are the '12th' man , the drum is the '13th'

To be honest the atmosphere in the other blocks was so good that that was probably the reason that some of the chants didn't spread. It is difficult to hear what two or three blocks to your right are singing when your own block is singing so loudly that you can barely hear the person next to you speak.

BOOOOOOOOO :thumbdown:

Credit to Dan, Tarquin and Trav for their efforts. Done us proud that day. To go through that game still putting in the effort on the drum was brilliant. I was struggling to clap in rhythm I was so nervous, no way would I have been able to do what they did. Well done lads
