In modern slang and colloquial speech, the word "drum" has several distinct informal meanings. In hip-hop and urban culture, a "drum" can slangily refer to a high-capacity firearm magazine (such as a drum magazine). In corporate or sales slang, people use "drum" as shorthand when talking about "drumming up" new business clients or financial sales leads. Additionally, in older jazz and rock music subcultures, a drum set is slangily referred to as the kit, the traps, or the skins by veteran players.
