The word drum is most universally and strongly associated with musical percussion instruments—specifically hollow cylindrical vessels played by striking a stretched membrane (drumhead) with hands or sticks to produce rhythmic beats. Culturally and historically, drums are most associated with the heartbeat, marching bands, ceremonial rituals, military signals, and keeping time in musical performances across almost every global civilization. In secondary contexts, the word is associated with mechanical laundry washing drums, brake drums, and cable storage drums.
