Jungle Drums | comment |
A sister trope to The Natives Are Restless, this harks back to the days in deepest darkest Africa, where the mood of the natives can be determined by their midnight drumming. If they're banging away on those puppies till the wee small hours, trouble is definitely brewing. The more anxious white people can be driven to nervous exhaustion by Those Infernal Drums (a good name for a band), but the moment you really worry is when they stop, suddenly. Sometimes we get to see the wild abandoned dancing of the natives. They are also used by the natives to communicate, as the native guide will often grab plot-relevant info from them (Truth in Television, in fact). See also Jungles Sound Like Kookaburras. No relation to the types of drums used in jungle music, like the Amen Break. |

Bill Boosey isn't convinced that cannibals even exist, but Upsidasi explains it to him: |

In one Sesame Street sketch, Ernie is looking for Dr. Livingstone (who is that kind of doctor) to ask him an important question, with Bert reluctantly tagging along and wanting to go home at every setback. At the end, the drums are also beaten after Ernie asks his question, and Dr. Livingston remarks about the jungle being full of jokers. Before that, however, one of the people they run into is Taxi Driver McGillicuddy. (Or however it would be spelled.) His identity clarified, they hear Jungle Drums: | |

In World of Warcraft, a skilled leatherworker can make many kinds of drums and sound them during a battle to give his team various bonuses. A typical kodo steed is shown to have some attached to the saddle but they aren't usable (unlike Warcraft 3, where a drummer mounted on a kodo increased combat effectivenes of nearby troops.) | |

Dragon #189 "Bazaar of the Bizarre". When the Drums of Menace are played, everyone within 1,000 feet (except the person playing it and their allies) becomes paranoid. They are overly worried about ambushes and traps, more likely to be affected by illusions and so on. The feeling of menace continues as long as the drums continue to be beaten. | |

Parodied in a Gilligan's Island episode. The castaways hear drums, implying an impending attack from the natives. Then the drums stop, at which point the Professor assures them that the attack has been called off. Cut to the natives with a broken drum, and a chief lamenting (via subtitle) that They Don't Make Them Like They Used To. | |

Invoked, complete with exact words, for the purpose of conveying wild, carnal depravity in the second episode of Lois & Clark. When Clark is briefly over at Cat's apartment laying low from rampaging government agents, Cat sets him at ease and plays against her reputation, but as soon as he's on the phone with Lois and Perry she turns on a recording of jungle drums at high volume to give everyone at the Planet the impression that the two of them are, as Clark later puts it, "hanging from the chandeliers." | |

The Road to Singapore: Instead of a signal that The Natives Are Restless like how this trope is often used, here (the setting is 1931 India, so during the British colonial era) it's a sign that they're all getting laid. Hugh asks his servant and is told that the nonstop jungle drums are part of a ceremony where the local young men are picking brides and, presumably, having a lot of sex. The drums keep both him and Phillipa (Hugh's neighbor, a lonely wife in a Sexless Marriage) up and apparently lead to them having sex with each other. | |
