Tenor drum

A tenor drum is a type of percussion instrument typically found in marching bands, drumlines, and orchestras. It is cylindrical in shape and often has a deeper body compared to snare drums, which gives it a lower pitch. Tenor drums are played with drumsticks and are known for their rich, resonant sound. They can be arranged in a set, which allows for complex rhythms and melodies. The drum's design usually features tunable drumheads, letting musicians adjust the pitch, and they are played both in military and artistic contexts, adding depth to the musical ensemble.
