Because I like history and don't know much about the history of drums, I decided to do some research. This drum is 90,ooo million years old. :) One of the earliest drum goes back to 6000 B.C. I thought it was neat how this drum somewhat looks like a current drum. We might play it differently today than we did hundreds of years ago, but they're still around. The link to the website that I got this information from is on the research page. Check it out! You might be shocked on about how long certain drums have stuck around.
