@mailchibi88 funny you should mention that because the truly impressive part is that the piper can stay right in the pocket to a beat thats the opposite type of beat that pipers are trained to.
@mailchibi88 actually they come from the same culture. The bag pipe is an east African instrument. Thats why all bagpipes must be made form Ethiopian wood or its not considered authentic. There is a long history of the Irish trading with Ethiopia.Two things that were adopted from them was the Bag Pipe & the Kilt.. Interesting history. What this video shows is the re connection of this musical art.
horrid,the drums didn't even go with what the piper was "playing".
If you want to hear pipes and drumming check out Saor Patrol

I think that the original animal skin used would've been
sheepskin. Coz sheep are intelligence dense/stupid-thick critters
with a tendency to lie on their back until their heart stops (or
the shepherd comes along and turns them on their feet to save them).

It's amazing how well the Bagpipes and African Drums, two instruments from two different cultures, compliment each other so well.
