[@bazsarov]

this doesn't even compare to the biggest drum ever, which is over 5m

[@tammermashni8541]

In 1921 it was the largest ..so they kept it written on there

Definitely NOT the world’s largest drum. According to Guinness World Records the largest drum is in South Korea and is 5.54m (18ft 2in) in diameter and 5.96m (19ft 6in) tall. It weighs 7 tonnes.

What does this drum sound like? Would a player need ear protection?

[@Quinn37]

​@@paulmason329no, it's a very deep sound, and not particularly loud

[@Quinn37]
