Lambeg drum


an (in)famous drum played by orangemen (of the orange order) in northern ireland.

it is m-ssive, about 3 feet in diameter, and its two drumheads are made of goat skin.

when fully tightened, a lambeg is utterly deafening, with a noise output of 115 – 120 decibels. when nearby you don’t just hear it.. you -feel- the subsonics all through your chest and gut. it can be heard 5-6 miles away.

the drum is played with two bamboo canes about 2 feet long each. it is carried like a b-ss drum. (but much bigger than a b-ss drum… makes the dude playing it look like an ant balancing a crumb.)

commonly used as tools of intimidation, with drummers working shifts to keep the almost tribal-sounding drumming going through the night, in clear earshot of the “other side” (catholics).
