Kettle drums are so called due to them having a large metal bowl shaped shell they are similar to Timpani drums used in the orchestra, having a large drum skin/head can have a deep tone depending on tuning. Kettle drums initially where used by drummers on horse back with images dating back to ancient times. As to regards of uniqueness if used in the traditional way they are one of the few drums played while on horseback.
