A drum is a musical percussion instrument, consisting of a membrane which is usually stretched taut over a cylindrical tube that is open at the other end. The membrane is struck, either with the hand or some other object, and the tube forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound. A drummer is a person who plays the drums.
Examples of drums:
- bass drum
- snare drum
- tom-tom drum
- timpani
- bongo drum
- djembe
- ashiko
- djun-djun
- Darabuka
- bodhrán
- Dholak
In the Sachs-Hornbostel scheme of musical instrument classification, drums belong to the membranophone class.
