I am noticing the tone is getting lower as the ceremonies progress, as any normal percussion instrument goes...
by snapman (moderator) @ -
percussion pitches change with every hit and these mass drums given out to the crowd were the wrong pitch or probably size.
by snapman (moderator) @ -

-
okay, the tone on the drums in the crowd is way too low, does not inspire at all...they should let me tune! LOL
