\u00abPipes & Drums of St. Petersburg\u00bb<\/strong> \u2014 is a unique band playing traditional Scottish music and turning its every performance into a spectacular and memorable event.<\/p>\n

For many years Scottish culture played an important role in the life of this band\u2019s musicians so by playing this music now they return their tribute by bringing Scottish culture into the life of St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

Pipe & Drum bands, also known as pipe bands, have their roots in the Scottish Regiments and their music nowadays is an inseparable part of celebrations and ceremonial events in various countries of the world.<\/p>\n

The enchanting continuous sound of the pipes, accompanied by various drumming rhythms, creates an incredibly strong impression while traditional Scottish tunes attract the listeners by their beautiful melodies and inspiring character.<\/p>\n

\u00abPipes & Drums of St. Petersburg\u00bb are organised exactly in accordance with the traditional Scottish pipe band structure. The Pipe section play the world-famous Great Highland Bagpipe, whilst the Drum section have the rattling snare drums, the tenor drums with remarkably expressive panache of performance, and the powerful bass drum whose beat forms the backbone of the band\u2019s rhythm \u2014 making the audience keep time with it at the same time.<\/p>\n

The attire of the band also fully complies with the Scottish uniform traditions, the main element being the famous Highland Kilt. We wear the Gordon Tartan, this being the Government [or Black Watch] tartan, differenced with the addition of a Gold Line.<\/p>\n

As a result the performance of the band becomes impressive not entirely as a musical event but also because it turns into an incredibly colourful display.<\/p>\n

To date, this show has already received a well deserved appreciation from organisers, participants and visitors of various cultural events such as:<\/p>\n
