What are the characteristics of ancient musical instrument drums?

Drum is one of the earliest musical instruments owned by human beings. It is an indispensable musical instrument and even a ritual vessel in the primitive society with underdeveloped melody, and is known as "the length of group sounds". Later generations called the striking parts of chimes, chimes and other musical instruments "drums", and called the playing movements of some musical instruments "drums", which is the reason. Because the ancients could not give a correct judgment on the pronunciation principle of drum, there were various speculations and legends about it. Most drums unearthed by primitive people are framed by clay, and some are framed by hollowed-out trunks. Due to years of deep burial, the drum skin has been corroded. Such as pottery drums unearthed from Dawenkou cultural tombs in Tai 'an, Shandong, and wooden drums unearthed from Taosi site in Xiangfen, Shanxi.
