Clann An Drumma, Scots Gaelic for "Children of the Drum" is a tribal band from Glasgow, Scotland. Clann An Drumma was formed by Joe Kilna MacKenzie, Jacquie Holland and Tu-Bardh Stormcrow Wilson among others. Like many other bands, their line-up has changed over the years.

Their music involves heavy use of percussion (namely traditional Scottish drums) and Highland bagpipes with an emphasis on the more traditional "tribal" sounds of ancient Scotland. The band's motto is "Keep it Tribal".

One of their more well-known pieces is "Sgt. MacKenzie". It was composed by Joe MacKenzie in memory of his great grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, who died in battle during World War I. "Sgt. MacKenzie" is perhaps a departure from their normal style, as its drumming and piping are subdued and it is primarily a vocal piece. It was featured in the soundtrack to the 2002 film, We Were Soldiers. To date the band has released a total of seven albums.

Joe Kilna MacKenzie died after a long illness, on 28 April 2009.

Hey Y’all. Ancestors were Scottish (McCandlish); I’m living in South Alabama, USA now. Years ago I lived in Dunedin, FL (sister city to Sterling, Scotland) and heard live bagpipes for the first time. I felt a “stirring of the blood” and had a vision of a battlefield. Now anytime I listen to the bagpipes (Celtic tribal drumming my favorite) I feel intense mixed emotions; sometimes I cry and other times I’m reaching for a claymore. Hard to explain…..after all these centuries……Barry

Looking for some of my older C D's for my new Tiel to enjoy. And since I also found a You Tube version, thought you may enjoy. I have met them when they came to America for Highland Games in New England. And this is the REAL music of Alba. .La' math dhuibh. BCB

If you are a Scot and haven't been to the Culloden Battle field you owe yourself a trip, no matter what part of the world you live in!

Aye! They took our garter belts and our fishnet hosiery and our spikey-heeled boots! They took our black mascara and our eyeliner and black lipstick! But they couldn't take our swishy neo-Goth souls!
