They waste no time getting into it, as all five drummers began beating their instrument with incredible precision. With the bagpipe leading the way, Clanadonia creates a thunderous sound that had people on the internet in awe.
It’s like a brilliant blend of chaos and harmony.
Clanadonia prides themselves on their mission which is to spread “bagpipe and drum fuelled havoc,” and they’re doing an excellent job at it. Unlike many other bands, Clanadonia isn’t in it for the fame, they do it to keep their traditions and culture alive.
