Drum

is a Mutated Namekian, and King Piccolo's fourth son following his release.
==Appearance==
Drum is a large, ogre-ish, frog-like Namekian. He very much resembles his brother Tambourine in appearance and outfit, with the exception of a more emerald shade of green skin and the lack of wings, as well as being much larger than Tambourine, with his structure being like his other brother Cymbal.
==Personality==
Drum, like all his siblings is ruthless, cruel, absolutely loyal to his father and family and believes his kind to be the superior species. 
==Biography==
===Dragon Ball===
====King Piccolo Saga====
Even though he is the shortest-lived son of King Piccolo, up to this point he was the strongest since King Piccolo created him when he was in his prime. King Piccolo spits him out when Tien Shinhan arrives to try and trap King Piccolo in the Evil Containment Wave after King Piccolo had assumed control of Earth. King Piccolo creates Drum when Tien challenges King Piccolo to a fight, as the Demon King doesn't think that Tien is worth his time. Drum attacks Tien and clobbers him quite easily, but Tien does retaliate. At the beginning of the fight, Tien manages to kick him in the face. Later when Drum smashes Tien to the ground, Tien kicks him in the stomach, and then smashes him in the nose, causing it to bleed. Tien then attempts to crush Drum to no avail. Drum then starts to attack Tien, with little retaliation. 
In the anime, at one point Tien uses the Evil Containment Wave on King Piccolo, but Drum runs in front of him causing Tien to trap him instead. King Piccolo then destroys the jar before Drum can be trapped. This does not occur in the manga as the Electric Rice Cooker is already broken before Tien begins his battle with Drum.
When Drum is just about to kill Tien, Goku arrives, and flies at Drum at high speed and kicks him in his skull, temporarily stunning him. Drum regains consciousness and attempts to attack Goku. Tien warns Goku that he should run, but Goku senses Drum's energy and kills him with another single kick to the head, knocking his eyes out of his sockets in a bloody mess. His body is later accidentally destroyed by King Piccolo during his fight with Goku.
==Power==
;Manga and Anime
Due to being born while King Piccolo was in his physical prime, Drum is the strongest of Piccolo's demonic children from the King Piccolo Saga. He defeats Tien Shinhan, one of the strongest humans at the time, with only moderate difficulty, but was killed with one kick by a newly powered up Goku, who possessed power on the same level as King Piccolo himself.
;Statements by guidebooks and authors
According to the pamphlet for the Tree of Might, Drum has a power level of 280.

==Trivia==
*Like his siblings, Drum's name is a pun of a musical instrument: the drum.
*Drum was born wearing pants and shoes.
*Drum and Tambourine are among the few of King Piccolo's spawn who bear any resemblance to ordinary Namekians. This may be because his more malformed older siblings were birthed by King Piccolo while his body was aged and weakened while Drum was birthed after he regained his youth.
*Drum is strangely the first Namekian portrayed with purple blood. In the anime, there is a scene where Tien Shinhan punches him in the face and blood comes out of his apparent nose.
*Drum is the only one of King Piccolo's sons (besides Piano, who never fights) to not use any ki attacks outside of video games.
*Drum and Piano are the only known mutated Namekians without wings.
