What is a battle drum?
1 Answer
A battle drum is a musical instrument used as a tool of war. In some cases, drums call soldiers to battle. In other cases, the rhythm played on the drum provides instructions to soldiers, telling them to execute particular maneuvers, advance or retreat. Military forces may also use battle drums to provide a cadence when training soldiers to march in formation. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique drums.
