Drums are classified as membranophones because they produce sound primarily through the vibration of a membrane, or drumhead, that is stretched over a shell. When the drumhead is struck, it vibrates and creates sound waves, making it a type of instrument that relies on the properties of a membrane. This classification is part of the broader category of Musical Instruments that generate sound through vibrating surfaces.
