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 was an earthen drum, that is, a drum made of clay, in a very early legend.

Because drums have a good * * * sound, the sound is vigorous and loud, and it travels far away, so they have long been used by Chinese ancestors as cheering for the army. According to legend, in the battle of Zhuolu, where the Yellow Emperor conquered Chiyou, "The Yellow Emperor killed Kui, with his skin as a drum, and his reputation was 5" ("Taiping Yu Lan" volume 582 Emperor Century).
