Drum is an important instrument in African traditional music and modern music, and some bands are completely composed of percussion instruments dominated by drums. Besides being a musical instrument, drums were also used to spread information in many ancient civilizations.

Drum is a traditional percussion instrument in China. According to the Book of Rites, there is a kind of earthen drum in the early legend, that is, a drum made of clay.

Because the drum has a good * * * sound, its voice is rich and loud, and it travels far, so it has long been regarded as a cheering force in the army by Chinese ancestors. According to legend, in the battle of Zhuolu, where the Yellow Emperor conquered Chiyou, "The Yellow Emperor killed Kui, taking the skin as a drum, and gained a reputation of 500" (Taiping Yulan, volume 582 Emperor Century).
