The most well-known percussion instrument. Most modern drums have these parts: the head, which is the membrane part that is struck; the rim, which fits over the head and sits flush with the shell; and the lugs, which attach the rim to the shell and can be tightened or loosened to adjust the head tension. Some drums have a top and bottom head; some just have one on top.

bongos,
tenors,

tympani,
congas,
