The KJV Buy-Bull also says nothing about the bagpipes, pipe organ, Irish tin whistle, or bodhran (Irish drum). I guess these are all 'sinful'? Don't touch my Scottish/Irish music, fucktard!

Enna's reply up towards the top is why I wish You could directly reply to comments. What I have to sway will be disjointed form tis context and buried on the 2nd page where no one will see it.
Christian music needs all the help it can get? On the contrary, liturgical music is so beautiful and so emotionally overwhelming that it is the only thing I can see that could make a sensible person have Christian feeling.
Can you explain how you find something wanting when you listen to Handel's Messiah, Mozart's Requiem, Bizet's Te Deum, Bach's Cantatas and Masses?
Or let me guess, you've never actually listened to music but just to some sort of mass produces synthetic sound pushed on you by the propaganda of the popular recording industry, and you are able to tell yourself that the particular brand you think is 'cool' you have convinced yourself is better the the virtually identical mass produced Christian popular music?
Now I know you are going to reflexively react to this comment with hostility (that is, you would if you ever saw it), but consider that you might be in the same position as a fundamentalist ensnared in a benighted ignorance and coils of deception trying to argue with an evolutionary biologist.

It's been a while since I took any serious history courses, but I don't remember ever hearing anything about any displaced African communities that were converted to Christianity banning the use of drums. Unless they converted to a sect that banned music altogether. Though I suppose mentioning the once widespread existence of such sects and the larger fact that for hundreds of years certain intervals were completely disallowed in liturgical music as they were thought of as satanic would mean that to employ this logic would require that they disown the entire concept of "christian music".
Though I have to say, as this reasoning is pretty strange even by warped-fundie-logic standards I think this might have been a troll getting some lulz.
I hope...

Curiously enough there is even a website, 'Christian Drummers', devoted to promoting the heresy of drumming.

Now I think of it, my grandmother used the phrase 'the Devil's drums', not that she was particularly religious.

>One simple guideline for Christian music is NO DRUMS!
No cars, airplanes, and computers in the bible also. So go live in a cave now!

yeah, i was going to do the whole 'timbrel' business as well, but whatever.
"drums are associated with voodoo, shamanism, paganism and magic rituals?"
Yeah, and a guy sitting around a table telling his followers to drink his blood and eat his flesh, is in no way assosiated with any occult practises right?

Even if no drum was mentioned, isn't there a tendency for the Bible to call out those items which are "very common… in Egypt and the lands around Israel" when it was deemed verboten?

the Bible also does not mention sharks.
clearly, sharks are the fallen angels referred to in Genesis. they must therefore be hunted to extinction.
it is clear that this is God's will, or he would not have made the flesh of the fallen angels so delicious.

Flutes are also extremely pagan, having existed in one form or another all over the world ever since people figure out that blowing just right into a tube makes a nice sound. Also, KJ is quite different from older versions of the Bible.

The Bible doesn't mention the piano, the violin, the xylophone, the clarinet, or the tuba.
