Couldn't agree more mate. I watched the Wigan game on TV the other week and had to turn the sound off ...
Depends on how it gets used really. If you're just going to smack the shit out of it all game then it's a pain in the arse, but used more sparingly at strategic times and it can be a useful tool.
I think there's a lot of snobbery when it comes to discussing the use of drums and I include myself in that - it's not an idea I've been overly keen on, yet those of us who hold that view wouldn't think twice if we were at an away game where there was a corrugated fence at the back of the stand and proceeded to bang that to help get an atmosphere going. Sunderland and Stoke away last season for example. Which begs the question as to why we think that is perfectly acceptable but using a drum isn't?
It's also a myth that only fans of smaller clubs use drums - as well as many of the larger continental clubs, Celtic use one as well.
