"It's a sort of musical prizefight, and a heavyweight one at that."Trevor Philpott reports from Banbridge, Northern Ireland, where people have flocked from all around to witness the legendary drummers "stick-in", a thunderously loud battle between drummers wielding gargantuan Lambeg drums. It's a test of stamina and determination, where bouts can last for several hours, and in which the goal is simply to make your rival drummer admit that you are the better man and the better drummer.
Count us in, Trevor.
