Hello Azizi,

Aye the Lambeg is what you might call a 'Large Loud Drum'.

For more info. check out:
The Tradition of the Lambeg Drum in Ireland

Thanks for the Link Tip!

Guest, I dare say there may be a little jealousy here at Mudcat.
But I'd say it'd be just folks who are simply jealous, in a healthy way, of others greater ability to play the Traditional Music we all love & use it as a spur to improve themselves.

Oh & Just because I love playing Scottish Music doesn't mean that I am automatically anti-Irish.
That's about as crazy as saying that just because Manitas loves Scotch that he or she must then be anti Bushmills Whiskey!
Just offer him/her a glass & see what happens.............

I actually prefer Bushmills - Blackbush Whiskey, but shoot, doesn't mean that I hate Scotch Whisky!

At the end of the day I actually prefer a good cup of tea - that doesn't make me anti-coffee person though!

Speaking of drink ...........................................
