A wooden drum is a versatile percussion instrument constructed from wood, often featuring a cylindrical shape with a membrane stretched over one or both ends. The wood contributes to the drum's tonal quality, producing deep, resonant sounds when struck with hands or sticks. Common types of wooden drums include the snare drum, bass drum, and hand drums like congas and djembe. Each type serves different musical styles, from orchestral to folk, rock, and jazz. Wooden drums are integral to various cultural music traditions, enhancing rhythm and providing a foundation for melodies. Their rich tones and dynamic range make them popular among musicians globally.
