drums

Drums are musical instruments that produce sound by striking a surface, called a drumhead or membrane, with sticks, hands, or other tools. When struck, the drumhead vibrates, creating sound waves that resonate through the drum's body. These vibrations can be adjusted by changing the tension of the drumhead or the size and shape of the drum, allowing for different tones and pitches. Drums are fundamental in many musical styles, providing rhythm, dynamics, and percussion accents. They are often arranged in sets, known as drum kits, to be played collectively in various musical contexts.
