Drum are hit to produce sounds that are very short. When played continuously they can be used to create rhythmic phrases or time and space in music.

Drums can be used to create feelings and emotions such as tension, anxiety, tiredness, laziness, urgency and more.

Drums were used by Traditional African warrior tribes to make the tribe sound like a giant when leading into battle.

Drums can also be used as a form of meditation. Playing multiple rhythms are the same time can lead to deep concentration which can aid in a meditational process.
