The drum may have orginated in Africa or India by the earliest humans of almost one million years ago. No one knows. The drum is the oldest musical instrument, and was probably used for sending signals before that. A hollow log can be a drum, so there is no way of dating its origin. Possibly a hollow log was covered with an animal skin and stretched to dry in the sun. Accidentally dropping an object on the skin caused the "boom" sound of a bass drum. The drum was then used in religious rites and later to signal others. Its true the drum is the oldest instruments, dont know when it was invented but i know it was originated in Africa.
