[@DragonPiper14]

I'm glad you think so! We're pretty proud of it. ~Wee Beastie

[@DragonPiper14]

yep! I use it all the time! pretty cool, isn't it?

[@DragonPiper14]

yeah, i do play pretty easy reeds...i see no point in playing hard ones. but oh well. It was still cool to find a random piper in the audience, especially a young one!

[@DragonPiper14]

yes, it is. I remember you! how goes the piping?

[@CapoeiraPiper]

we play steam train in this same arrangement except with less people.

[@GrettaZiller]

love the drumming in Steam Train - does anyone know where you can get the drum score for this???

[@cobbingman]

Bonny band & tune !

[@Xogroroth666]

Well performed, rythmically correct, nicely in tune, nea bad...

[@simplythebescht]

The tune was written by Mary-Anne McKinnon. This is a much better version than the last ClanPipers' version I saw/heard on KZbin. But I'm still worried about the rhythmic accompaniment! Why not keep it to side, tenor and bass and leave out the crap that brings visions of a banana-boat to mind and not a steam-train? - equally, that medium of transport should be on its way "...to Mallaig" and NOT "Tobago"!

[@jwilliams8348]

I have to agree with simplythebescht.. they should have kept the weird percussion out.

[@davidbell4445]

The addition of non-traditional percussion added to the tune. Thinking outside of the box is hard for pipe purest or like I refer to as Band Nazis with a my way or the highway attitude. You lose a lot of good people.

[@MrThedalaillamaknows]

@simplythebescht you really don't really know anything about either scottish or caribbean music do you?

[@scottishgold6595]

Sorry, but the African bongo mixed together with this glorious tune has the same effect as unions on ice cream. It is overbearing and distractive as I try to key in on the precision of these pipers and their finger work. There are traditional proper drums for a good reason. Nice work pipers.

I don't like it!!
