context_page_description: The Basler drum is a two-headed rope-tension drum. It takes its name from its origin in Basel. This percussion instrument is best known from the Carnival of Basel, where it is played by more than 2000 drummers. They are called Tambouren in Swiss German or Tambourins in French. There is no typical number of players for marching-bands including this instrument. Anything between three and fifty drummers may be seen in such a formation.
  Drums of the same pattern are used throughout Switzerland in fife and drum societies as well as in Swiss Army bands. They are also known as 'Swiss drums' or 'Ordonance 82'.
