Drums

Drum, Drum kit, Playing the drums

Drums are among the oldest instruments there are, and they can make a whole crowd move as one. A drum dream is often about rhythm, energy and the pace you're keeping in daily life. Sitting behind the drum kit suggests you're the one setting the tempo for others, at home or at work. A steady beat in the distance can mean something is building, like a deadline or an event you can feel coming closer. Drumming with others, in a band or a circle, adds a deep sense of belonging.
