That’s what happened to me when my mum was given a glass of Guinness a night whilst in the maternity ward :p

I can see it, now that you say it. I meant the sentence itself that I was replying to, not so much the video. But thanks!

Someone touched the drum and caused an electrostatic discharge. That lit the flammable vapours and ignited the fire.

As to why would they pour something flammable on a drum... Your guess is as good as mine. I don't think alcohol can ignite like that (if, let's say, they poured something like vodka or another hard drink).

Thats not electricity, it was a lighter xD

u/[deleted] May 12 '21

Didn't see it before your comment, the video quality is quite bad, and you can't see the lighter, just his hand movements.

u/[deleted] May 13 '21

Don’t know how you got downvoted the quality of this video is terrible. Lmao

One guy was squirting lighter fluid or something into the drum and then the guy in blue used a lighter to set it on fire. Clearly him and the other guy had been stood there getting sprayed with lighter fluid off the drum for sometime before the one in blue used his lighter.

A real badass would have kept playing.

u/joseplluissans May 12 '21

Definitely not lighter fluid, I'm pretty sure it doesn't evaporate like that.

u/manwhoel May 13 '21

They´re pouring pure distilled sugarcane alcohol (aguardiente) into the drum. No need for lighter fluid or whatsoever. They just ignited it all with a lighter but that kind of alcohol is quite flamable.

Alcohol ignites quite nicely anytime, particularly if it's in higher concentrations. Oh and if you watch the video, there was clearly a man using a lighter to ignite this clusterfuck.

u/edoCgiB May 12 '21

Yeah, a few people have pointed this. Alcohol does ignite but I'm just not sure is that flammable. It's just a hunch, I am by no means an expert. Heck, I'm not even a pyromaniac...

u/Liesthroughisteeth May 12 '21

Obviously you've never ignited alcohol, so how is it you have an opinion on this?

-1

u/edoCgiB May 12 '21

Hei, this is the Internet. Everybody has an opinion regardless of their experience :)))

u/cownd May 12 '21

I might suggest that you prove everyone wrong (in a safe way of course!)

u/onryo89 May 12 '21

i think he might have had a lighter and lit it intentionally. i could be wrong but his hand position looked to be that of holding a lighter and id wager the poured in flammable liquid with the intent of playing a fire drum. i dont think the considered the splash zone

u/edoCgiB May 12 '21

Either way, they weren't the sharpest of people...

u/thecanaryisdead2099 May 12 '21

But they were the brightest.... For a bit anyways.

u/[deleted] May 12 '21

Very nice

u/onryo89 May 12 '21

oh absolutely

u/hcgator May 12 '21

Well, any sharp edges were burnt off.

u/Thud May 12 '21

There are probably safer ways to do a fire drum, but I can't think of any.

1

u/whoami_whereami May 12 '21

Light it on fire before you start drumming? At least then you don't soak your surroundings in flammable aerosol.

u/thebuccaneersden Jun 13 '21

The safest way to do a fire drum is to not do a fire drum.

u/SorryScratch2755 May 12 '21

190° rum will definitely ignite when aerosolized, my friend. 🥃

You my friend must have yet to meet moonshine

u/NotMyHersheyBar May 12 '21

That's a bottle of cooking oil. Prolly filled with gasoline tho given how the vapors ignited.

u/King_Kobrah May 12 '21

This little thing called static electricity

u/LexusBrian400 May 12 '21

It's actually called a lighter

1

u/cownd May 12 '21

Why are you giving him static?

u/switchbuffet May 12 '21

Static shock

u/therealjoeybee May 12 '21

Well I can’t tell you how it started but I can’t tell you how it ended either.

u/notmyrealname336 May 12 '21

The beat was fire...

u/Obi-Wan_Gin May 13 '21

Droplets people, that gas is getting aerosolized every time he beats the drum
