Talk:Lambeg drum

Lambeg drum
Is "lambeg drum" the actual name of the instrument? Why don't we say "djembe drum or "conga drum," then? I've always heard it called the "lambeg."  Badagnani 23:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Can the editor who moved this page from "lambeg" to "lambeg drum" please answer this question, which has been here unanswered for about a month? Badagnani 18:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I didn't move it, but the name is indeed "Lambeg Drum". Stu   ’Bout ye!  14:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a note: Lambeg is also an area in Ireland. The drums are refered as "Lambegs" but naming the article "Lambeg" could create confusion with the area. Additionally, the instrument is frequently called a "Lambeg Drum" in addition to "Lambeg". - An anonymous wikipedia user. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.53.233 (talk • contribs)
 * The link to the village of Lambeg is given in the disambiguation at the top of the page. Badagnani 22:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Is there a source for the volume level? Presumably the article refers to the Great Highland Bagpipe, but the GHB is typically around 100 dB -- no where near 120. The modern pipe band snare drum, with it Kevlar head, is a good bit louder than the Bagpipe. I know nothing of the Labeg drum. I'd like to see the article expanded to comment on repertoire -- do they just beat time, or ...? Also, how is the competition judged? 5 June 2010 Piper Bob —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.84.10.41 (talk) 13:49, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Name
Re: this text:  The drum is sometimes also called "tibbies," "slashers," or "killymans."

Is this for more than one drum (all these terms appear in the plural, with final "s"), or is it for just one drum? Badagnani 18:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Goatwhackery 20:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)==Weight== Shouldn't it read 35kg (80lbs)?


 * A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, so whatever is written in the article now is wrong. Yes, it should be fixed, by someone who knows the exact weight the drum really is.  Badagnani 22:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

No the weight is approximately 35lbs

not in Belfast?
I would query the claim that Lambegs have not been paraded in Belfast for 50 years. I'm pretty sure I saw one in the 12th this year. Can we at least change it to 'rarely'? It's pretty difficult to prove that something hasn't happened once in 50 years... --Helenalex 21:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)--Helenalex 21:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
