The sound of thunder is loud, powerful, and booming. What common objects can create a similar sound? Certain types of drums. It is thus not surprising that drums tend to be paired with thunder and, by extension, lightning. Sometimes it can be used visually by having lightning striking whenever a drummer plays their drum as if they are summoning it. Sometimes the drums are more directly connected by having them be the cause of lightning. Older Than Feudalism. In Chinese Mythology, Leigong ("Thunder Lord") is described as a musclebound deity who creates thunder by hammering his drum as early as 1st century CE. In Japanese Mythology, the thunder god Raijinnote Those familiar with Pokémon may be familiar with the name "Raikou", which is one of Raijin's alternative names. Both Raikou (the god) and Leigong are written in the Chinese script as 雷公. Another alternative name is "Raiden", the original namesake for the video game lightning deities in Mortal Kombat and Genshin Impact respectively. Place your bets now! is also commonly depicted with having a ring of drums behind his back. May overlap with Instrument of Murder if the drummer is summoning lightning to attack their foes. Not to be confused with the dragon species from Dragons: Riders of Berk. Compare to Thunder Hammer, Sub-Trope of Shock and Awe and Elemental Weapon. See also Lightning Gun, Shock Stick, Static Stun Gun and Lightning Lash. |

In Ōkamiden, The Thunderclouds have large drums which Chibiterasu can use to get to higher places, and some of the inhabitants of the place use drums, alongside other instruments, to create electricity. After clearing the place, Chibi also gets a pellet drum item that makes him immune to electricity. | |

In the fourth Eldoran series, Daiteioh (which never made it past a promo reel and was only developed more in Super Robot Wars), the Super Mode combination sequence starts with Daiteioh ceremoniously rattling a giant pellet drum while riding atop dragon-mode Dairyuuoh, prior to the two combining. | |

In The Rainmaker, one of the props Starbuck carries on his wagon is a big bass drum, which he directs Jim to give several resounding beats on to make the rain come. When a real thunderstorm does break out at the end of the play, the sound is mistaken for the drum (as well the audience might in The Musical version 110 in the Shade, which accompanies it with an orchestral kettledrum beat). | |

Raijin in Muramasa: The Demon Blade is able to summon a bunch of drums around her, and one of her attacks involves rapidly drumming on them with her dumbbell-like objects to generate lighting orbs.
