Drum

For other kinds of drums, see drum (disambiguation). A drum is a percussion musical instrument, consisting of a membrane called a drumhead that 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 like a drumstick, and the tube forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound. A drummer is a person who plays the drums. In most popular music and jazz, drums usually refers to a drum kit or set of drums, and drummer to the band member or person who plays them. In the past, drums were used as a means of communication - see drum (communication). Examples of drums: In the Sachs-Hornbostel scheme of musical instrument classification, drums belong to the membranophone class.
