Etymology

The word 'drummed' originates from the Middle English term 'drom,' which is derived from the Old French 'drom' and ultimately traces back to the Latin 'drumus,' meaning a drum. The term has evolved over the centuries, reflecting various styles and types of drumming across different cultures. Initially, drums were simple percussion instruments made from animal skins stretched over hollowed logs or clay pots. As musical styles evolved, so did the complexity of drums and drumming techniques. Today, drumming encompasses a wide array of styles, from traditional tribal rhythms to contemporary genres like rock, jazz, and pop. The versatility of drumming has made it an essential aspect of music worldwide, symbolizing unity and communication in many societies.
