If drums aren't welcome, why don't they just ban them?

Back in the 1980’s drums were banned at The Philadelphia Folk Festival. (https://pfs.org/folk-festival) What do you think the dirty smelly hippies (of which I’m one) did then? Started banging on the Spot-A Pots!!! Not using just drumsticks and hands either. We’re talkin’ using firewood clubs, giant branches, fists, their own heads, anything! Now THAT was annoying …

 Cheers

Speaking as a drummer, I would agree that drum circles have no place in Town Park during the festival, but I don't think percussion needs to be banned int he campground outright. I enjoy seeing someone sitting in a picking circle with a cajon, so long as they're respectful.

HAHa! I got a laugh after hearing Bevin say that drumming circles shut down picking circles. Then after coming back from Nightgrass looking for who might still be up picking, ran into the drummers. I don't recall anyone else picking in Town Park at that point. Maybe over at Cascadia or Howdy, I don't remember for sure.

Complete John, they were in your backyard! Shoot I thought I saw you with a drum in your hand!!  LOL LOL
