Unity and Identity: The rhythmic beats of drums create a powerful sense of unity among fan communities. They provide a common language that transcends linguistic and cultural barriers, fostering a strong sense of identity and belonging among supporters. Cultural Exchange: Fan communities and their drumming traditions offer opportunities for cultural exchange and mutual appreciation. When different communities come together, sharing their rhythms and traditions, it promotes understanding, respect, and a celebration of diversity.

Five years later, after winning the North Derry Senior Football Championship, the club reached the Derry Senior Football Championship final, only to be denied by Magherafelt in a close encounter. Drum reached another Derry Senior Championship final in 1956, but was defeated by Bellaghy.
