What is a "drum"?
A drum is a percussion instrument consisting of a cylindrical shell with a stretched material covering one or both ends. The drum produces sound when the player strikes this material with their hands, sticks, or mallets. The pitch and tone can vary based on the size of the drum, the tension of the material, and how it is played. Drums are used in various musical genres and settings, including orchestras, marching bands, and rock bands, providing rhythm and dynamic support. They are fundamental to many types of music and are known for their powerful, resonant sounds.
