Best Answer

The advantage of drum signals over smoke signals is that drum signals are faster, and you can transfer more information in the same period of time. The speed of drum signals is limited by how fast you can pound the drums, how fast you can hear the drums and still differentiate them as single beats, and how much multi-path echo distortion you get with drums. The speed of smoke signals is limited to how fast you can modulate the smoke into pulses, allowing them to differentiate into distinct puffs as they slowly rise into the air.
