X Marks The Scot Pipes and Drums

[Jack Daw]

We still seem to be short drummers. We could go by the mental ward of the hospital with applications, eh?

[James MacMillan]

I'm pretty good at playing the armpit.

And I can burp Scotland the Brave.

I would pay good money to see that! This would be a duet then? Vocal and percussion?

Did they change the name of that instrument to be more pc?

No, the name was changed after someone stood too close in front of me while I was playing it....

[Nick the DSM]

learning the highland pipes right now, play drums, play the baritone.

Well, my musical talent is mainly vocal, but I've got enough rhythm to keep time on the bass drum.

OCH! I played trumpet in grade school. Same fingering as the baritone, it is! I used to make fun of woodwind players, but no more now, being the diligent piper. ON PARADE, mind! Tout, a drummer and a piper, you must be out of your heid for sure!

Well, I used to play the thing and it takes the teeth of a Teddy Roosevelt it does to play it. May the Lord and your dentist forgive ya.

Yeah, well we clarinet players made fun of you trumpet players too. ;-) I played some percussion in high school as well. But I mostly stick to tin whistles now. Nothing that could be heard over the pipes.

I do think a piccolo can cut through anything.

Personally started on trombone switched to Bassoon took all the classes to get a Teaching degree in Instrumental and vocal music. Now learning the English horn (which is really french if I remember right).
