Default Bamboo ID needed!

Hi, this beaut specimen was given to me by a jumbletowner JoJoDub and i really would love to know what it is:

it is tall, roof height, what is in the pics is the cluster of sprouting leaves at about waist height, it then has sent up shoots further, more spindly and has leaves at the top, less dense but not too sparse either but defo not nearly so dense as ones shown here.

the part where a shoot goes off to form another branch there is a dark green part, the rest of the stems are beige bamboo colour.
the leaves are large not at all like the specimens i have seen recently in garden centres.

I just love this 'animal' of a bamboo, dont worry it is well contained!
