what do you think of that one?

At last year's gold national, held in OKC, on the grounds of ASA HOF Stadium, a team calling themselves "LA Voodoo" included a player with drum sticks and a "drum set" comprised of buckets (ok, maybe it was one of two buckets, not an entire "set"). While they were at bat, she played the beat and the team sang song/chants. This was well within ear shot of 3 out of 5 of the Deputy Directors of Umpires. Nary a word was said. You knew what field they were on anytime they played.

I believe that in and of itself tell you everything you will need to know.
