drum
Hollow rhythm keeper
A drum is a percussion instrument—a hollow body with a membrane stretched over one or both ends, struck with hands or sticks to produce sound.
Drums extend to cylindrical containers: an oil drum, an eardrum.
To drum is to play drums or tap rhythmically: She drummed her fingers on the table.
To drum up support or business is to generate it through effort.
To drum something into someone is to teach it through repetition.
