I hate drums at football with a passion, having listened to dafties thumping away monotonously on them for 90 minutes at each and every single game of football I go to here - even third division sides with about fifteen fans (usually relatives of the players) have one drum banger and one megaphone blokey.
They even went so far as to hire folk to bang drums and shout into megaphones at the summer friendlies involving European sides, and rather amusingly, at a game between Lyon and River Plate, the solitary Lyon fan who had travelled over from France spent most of his time trying to tell the Korean muppet with the megaphone that "Forza France team!" was not Lyon fans would sing at games...
Fair play to the ultras if they want to create an atmosphere though, but drums are evil!
