| Drums of War | comment |
Drums are often used to indicate that war is on the move. Armies march to the beat of a drum; scouts communicate with their commanders by means of coded drum-beats; the enemy may use their drums as an intimidation factor on the town they're besieging. Truth in Television, as infantry marching in formation often use the beat of a drum to keep time and ensure their steps are even. Many cultures, both ancient and modern, have martial traditions based around drums, and often had specialized drums created for the express purpose of battle. See also Jungle Drums, when drums are used to indicate a jungle setting, Thunder Drum, where drums are paired with thunder and lightning, and Dramatic Timpani, where large drums are used to underscore the tension in a scene. The association of drums with violence may be a contributor to the All Drummers Are Animals stereotype. If the drums are being used to harass or annoy someone, it's Loud of War. If the sound of the drums itself causes harm, that's a Brown Note. If someone is getting hit with a drum, it's either Improbable Weapon User or Improvised Weapon. If someone uses their weapon to hit their shield like a drum, it's Shield Banging. |

In Thud!, as the anniversary of the Battle of Koom Valley approaches and tensions grow between the dwarves and the trolls, mention is made of the gahanka, the troll war beat, created by "five hundred clubs hitting the stone in unison". | |

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, as Sauron's army prepares to use the battering ram Grond to break the gates of Minas Tirith, a strong drum-beat underlies their war chant. | |

Master and Commander: When the command "beat to quarters" is given, the beating of drums rouses the crew from their hammocks and sends them rushing to their action stations. On the soundtrack, the track called "The Battle" is very heavy on drums. | |

One episode of Gilligan's Island involved the castaways starting up a band to keep themselves entertained. Gilligan took the drum-like bongos and his song was mistaken by natives on a distant island as a declaration of hostile intent, prompting them to attack first. One adventure later, after everything had been cleared up, Gilligan proceeded to give the leaving natives a different bongo beat, which the natives of another island mistook for this trope. | |

Sabaton: Inverted by the song "Fields of Verdun" which compares the opening artillery barrage of the battle to a drum roll. "Rorke's Drift", about the famous Last Stand during the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War, also features a lyric comparing the sounds of combat to drums. It's also an indirect reference to Zulu war drumming. As the music itself, drums of war are presented in "Swedish Pagans" during the chanting parts. |

In The Lord of the Rings, after Pippin knocks a stone down the well in the Mines of Moria, the Fellowship hears drum-beats echoing up out of the well. It's not explicitly stated, but this is the sound of the orcs that now infest the mines gathering to attack the Fellowship. Along similar lines, the final entry in the Book of Mazarbul mentions hearing "drums in the deep"; the orcs coming to finish off the last holdouts of Balin's colony. | |
