[edit] Lambeg drum

Is "lambeg drum" the actual name of the instrument? Why don't we say "djembe drum or "conga drum," then? I've always heard it called the "lambeg." Badagnani 23:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Can the editor who moved this page from "lambeg" to "lambeg drum" please answer this question, which has been here unanswered for about a month? Badagnani 18:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't move it, but the name is indeed "Lambeg Drum". Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 14:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Just a note: Lambeg is also an area in Ireland. The drums are refered as "Lambegs" but naming the article "Lambeg" could create confusion with the area. Additionally, the instrument is frequently called a "Lambeg Drum" in addition to "Lambeg". - An anonymous wikipedia user. --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.193.53.233 (talk • contribs).

The link to the village of Lambeg is given in the disambiguation at the top of the page. Badagnani 22:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Re: this text: The drum is sometimes also called "tibbies," "slashers," or "killymans."

Is this for more than one drum (all these terms appear in the plural, with final "s"), or is it for just one drum? Badagnani 18:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Goatwhackery 20:06, 29 October 2006 (UTC)==Weight== Shouldn't it read 35kg (80lbs)?

A kilogram is about 2.2 pounds, so whatever is written in the article now is wrong. Yes, it should be fixed, by someone who knows the exact weight the drum really is. Badagnani 22:56, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

No the weight is approximately 35lbs
