Wall Street Occupiers Fear Drummers Will Be Their Undoing
The Atlantic Wire ^ | 10/25/2011 | Adam Martin

The most pervasive sound at Zuccotti Park, and one of the neighbors' biggest complaints, is that of a group of drummers pounding the skins, and organizers now fear their inability to rein in the constant drumming will kill what support they've gotten and move the park's owners to ask police to clear them out. The occupation reached a compromise at its General Assembly on Monday night, with the drummers agreeing to limit their playing to four hours a day (from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.), but it's not the first time the occupiers have reached an agreement on limiting the drumming, and the fear now is that neighbors, already skeptical of the camp's ability to regulate itself, will decide at Tuesday night's meeting of Community Board 1 that they can't put up with it any longer.

Little Drummer Boy

Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum
A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum
Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum pum
To lay before the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
When we come.

Little Baby, pa rum pum pum pum
I am a poor boy too, pa rum pum pum pum
I have no gift to bring, pa rum pum pum pum
That’s fit to give the King, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you, pa rum pum pum pum,
On my drum?

Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum
I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum,
rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum
Me and my drum.

The anarchists want the conflict, want the violence. If you accommodate them, they will push and push until there is violence.

From the article: “Drumming is the heartbeat of this movement.” — what does this tell us about the “movement?”

It’s a good thing they’re not anywhere near my house, because if they were I would go berserk and kill the bastards. Percussion is the most disgusting element of what passes for modern “music,” and I have zero tolerance for it.

One single razor blade meeting a drum-skin can end the drumming very quickly.

there are one or two yr. old articles from NYC about some type of bird found nesting in the city. Hawks maybe?
Please Dear God! Please tell me those birds are trying to nest near the park!

Yeah.. and the endangered species being the producers. A snail darter has more rights than the human producer.
