The drum is one of the most popular instruments that has been used in many different forms and cultures. It was originally used as a percussion instrument, but over time it has evolved into a very diverse instrument with many different styles.
The basic drum is made from animal skins stretched over a wooden frame, which is usually called a drum skin. The drum skin is often referred to as the drum head. The drum head can be any number of different materials such as animal hide, plastic or even cloth. In some cases, the drum skin is just left bare without any covering.
The drum is often played using two sticks known as a tom-tom or a cowbell. The drum stick is placed against the drum head and struck with the other end. The drum stick is often made of wood, metal or plastic. Sometimes the drum stick is a pair of cymbals. Cymbals are used to produce a variety of different sounds. Some of the sounds that can be produced are high pitched, low pitched and deep.
There are many different types of drums. The basic drum is usually cylindrical in shape. There are also drums that are rectangular in shape and drums that have various other shapes. Drums can be as large as the size of a basketball hoop or as small as a table top.
