High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A tom-tom drum (not to be confused with a tam-tam) is a cylindrical drum with no snare.Although the name, "tom-tom" comes from the British term for a child's toy drum, the tom-tom itself comes from Native American or Asian cultures. The tom-tom drum is also a traditional means of communication. The tom-tom drum was added to the drum kit in the early part of the 20th century.The first drum kit tom-toms had no rims; the heads were tacked to the shell.As major drum manufacturers began to offer tunable tom-toms with hoops and tuning lugs, a 12" drum 8" deep became standard, mounted on the left side of the bass drum. Later a 16" drum 16" deep mounted on three legs (a floor tom) was added. Finally, a second drum was mounted on the right of the bass drum, a 13" diameter drum 9" deep. Together with a 14" snare drum and a bass drum of varying size, these three made up the standard kit of five drums for most of the second half of the 20th century.
