I was also thinking about the wide range of percussion instruments too. At
the gig which started this thread Jost played a drum solo which was
absolutely amazing in it's musicality and range of pace and expression.
Surely anything that can be played to create a controllable noise is a
potential instrument in the hands of a musician of any genre?

And I really did enjoy the ~battle of the bagpipes~ in one of the last
numbers they performed. I just wish I'd got a photo but I was too busy
enjoying myself to bother so I don't know which types they were from the
list they play ...."German, French, Spanisch, Italian and Scottish
bagpipes".
