Drum
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:
- ashiko

- bass drum
- bodhrán
- bongo drum
- darabuka
- dholak
- djembe
- djun-djun

- steel drum - not a membranophone, but referred to as a drum
- tabla
- tabor
- talking drum
- tapan
- tenor drum
- timbales

In the Sachs-Hornbostel scheme of musical instrument classification, drums belong to the membranophone class.
