I am a really rubbish timbrelist.... and I LOVE this video... always makes me smile and boy do I wish I could do this.... yes its old fashioned but I like that, our kids do it to modern songs and they are brilliant fun. ours is not staid. its fun and current and heck about the only exercise I get every week!
I was a timbrelist and actually find this funny. As we timbrelists all now the men do not like the timbrels so this is actually what this would love to do to them. They actually made fun of timbrelists but it didn't bother me. I understand this joke completely.
i am a timbrelist and this is not humorous. its scary that so many people want to do away with tradition. there is nothing wrong with using contemporary music either. sometimes you have to try to reach the younger crowd or people not familiar to the army. want to see humor. watch the video light walkers.
i think its sad how playing Timbrels is dying, i enjoy playing it, and i think we shouldn't let it go, its nice to see some of the older stuff like timbrels, and not just those choreograph like dances or skits where Jesus and the Devil are fighting over someone. they get boring every year at YC to see the same stuff, i'm glad my Corps normally does a timbrel drill up there instead.
I'm another former timbrelist... and loved this! I left my brigade when it stopped using marches and started trying to play to contemporary pop type music... I just couldn't bear to show my face on stage doing that stupid wave-it-around crap.
Remember not to take worship as a joke for King David Danced before the LORD with timbrel in hand and He found it pleasing. Yes when the timbrel brigade is not with the music and tries to dance to a march it is kind of embarassing.
actually YOUR wrong. don't know where you learned THAT from but theres a reason why the SA has timbrel BRIGADES and is still in the ROSE PARADE. its tradition and in this era we need to keep as many traditions as possible.
Looooove Loooove Loooovee!!! Haha...Band Timbrels n Vocals...BLAH! Drama...Dance....n Choreo is more like it. I bet half the people that commented on this n are sallies....Play a brass instrument hehehehe...Trombone here! ;)
Looool, I laughed till I cried, but not for the timbrel, that's Hilarious. I can appreciate a good timbrel march or dance done well. But where's the fun if you can't have a joke like that. Really funny!
Should have also said that's one of my favourite pieces of SA music ruined. I'll not be able to keep a straight face when I hear it or am playing it. Even less if I see a timbrel dance to it.
You know how expensive they are to buy from trade now?!!!
This years TMS tymbrells in the UK was removed. However, after much complaining and fight for the tamborine to take place in the festivals, we won the privilidge of having the tymbrels to be in both the mid week fest and final fest!
as someone who loves the timbrel and occassionaly plays it at christmas time i found it hilarious and loved it. well done young man it made me laugh out loud for ages!!
1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after.

I played timbrel for 10 years, the moment I was offered a chance to learn I jumped at it. I left the salvos 7 years ago, I still love my timbrel but I have to say, that was hilarious and (although quite costly depending on where you buy your timbrel) something i always feared doing but always dreamt of!
As a former timbrelist and former salvo, it got my thumbs up!
I was somewhat offended by this. I mean, who would destroy a good timbrel like that? I wouldn't do that to mine. I take good care of it and play it right. I do have to say, though, it was a little bit funny.
It was a timbrel. It's only a material object. The fact that the guy was at music school shows he still believes and is obviously doing God's work. There is no reason not to enjoy something that is meant to be fun. It's the narrow minded people, like who have a problem with this video, that made me leave the Army a few years ago.
For those offended by the smash . . . wake up and smell the new millennium! Whether you know it or not, people are not exactly lining up to learn how to play a timbrel. On the contrary, when I see a group of timbrelests I am utterly embarrassed that we still do that.
@bretmc ive always thought of timbrels like a private joke within the sally army tbh, i do timbrels with out band and i cringe when i'm learning it etc but when we actually perform it, i can never help but give a little laugh to myself
that was absolutely disgraceful. as a a brass player and a timbrellist, i just couldn't understand the reason why he had to do that. it was a waste of a good timbrel and it just showed a total lack of insight into army history.
It was symbolic of the Army's need to adapt or become extinct. Until we can rid the world of every last timbrel, we truly can't be free as a people. LOL!
I found it offensive as well. As a Salvation Army bandsman I LOVE that piece of music and couldn't hear it over the jingling. Then there was the cheering. Man, no respect for brass band music anymore. Final comment, 1 down, 40 million to go.
You know what's a waste of a timbrel? The 284 pound woman holding it, wagging it, callousing her elbows with it, banging it behind her back, doing jumping jacks, and so forth.
Yeah, there we go there is a good attitude. Because someone does something to a timbrel in an hour of need not do what we have been called to do. And if he attends music camp he is a member so he would be contributing to the work of the Army, right?

Brilliant. Timbrels have forgotten their place. They were there to accompany, not the other way around.
