If you are into Drum troops, take a look at this https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=%E7%B5%B3%E5%B7%9E%E5%A4%A7%E9%BC%93&rlz=1C1LENP_enHK673HK673&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjCiKyfitnTAhWKV7wKHXTGCusQ_AUIDSgE&biw=1122&bih=622<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-3223464170418672382017-05-05T22:44:46.618+08:002017-05-05T22:44:46.618+08:00Hi T --

But I'd worry more in this regard to members of drumming troupes such as Japan's Kodo and Taiwan's U-Theatre. There have been times when attending their concerts -- and those of other taiko drummers -- where I could feel my ear drums vibrating -- and I was in the audience and not as close to those drums as the performers!YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-84032711347116689502017-05-05T00:37:54.373+08:002017-05-05T00:37:54.373+08:00Hi There,

Not too bat. What I really meant are those drummers and cymbal players. They should have some protection as they are right at the epic centre.<br /><br />Maybe it's just me getting old. Loud noise hurts these years.<br /><br />TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-74161449777395349842017-05-04T23:00:28.281+08:002017-05-04T23:00:28.281+08:00Hi T --

So no ear plugs for me at the Tam Kung birthday parade! ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-87840918294797621702017-05-04T16:54:34.207+08:002017-05-04T16:54:34.207+08:00Hi There,

We are lucky they do not do Fire-Crackers in urban areas. If this was celebrated in remote areas, they might usually be accompanied by loads of fire-crackers, despite the ban.<br /><br />T<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
