bass drum

The largest drum of the orchestra or military band, with notes of indeterminate pitch, consisting of a cylindrical wooden body with two drumming surfaces (of hide or plastic). It is usually placed upright and drummed from one side.

In the military band, the bass drum is played together with the cymbals, one of which is placed on it, while the other is held in the player's non-drumming hand.
