Drums are part of the percussion section of the orchestra. They usually are at the very back of the orchestra behind the woodwind section. x
Back row, left side. When you are looking at the orchestra. To the bassist it's the right hand side.
Basically, the string family sits in the front of the orchestra from L to R (facing the stage). The left half of the stage are the violins, then to the right the violas, behind them the cellos, then way to the far right the basses will sit. The woodwind family will sit in the center, just behind the strings. Then to the right of the woodwinds, also behind the strings, the bass family sits. The percussion will usually stand way behind the brass at the far back and to the right of the stage. If there is a harp or keyboard, they usually sit to the left and to the back, behind the strings.
