Found a good post on Slugger O'Toole's blog re Lambeg drum (just love the step dancer - what sort of mick take is that) with a link to a YouTube video
.. actually it's best experienced in real life, when you stand beside a Lambeg you really know it, you really FEEL it - something that can't be re-produced on a video.
A little known fact is that Ringo Starr became interested in playing the drums after watching the Lambeg drummers at various Orange parades in Liverpool during his childhood. Who says loyalist bands have a negative cultural influence!? A Tangled Web:

- "You wanna know what's wrong with religion? Religion is supposed to be about people being nice to each other, but frankly I don't see a lot of that. You know what I do see is, I see, a lot of people using the good book to say that they're morally superior. I see people building TV stations to bilk grandma out of her pension checks, all in the name of God. How about all those God-fearing people who are killing other God-fearing people because they don't fear God the same way?" - Dr. John Becker
