	USS Drum (SS-228) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		USS Drum was the first of the Gato class fleet submarines to be completed, and the only one in service at the start of World War II.
		On April 16, 1969 Drum was transferred to the USS Alabama Commission to be used as a memorial in Mobile, AL.
		An interesting feature about Drum as a memorial is that her conning tower is open to the public, which is not the case with most of the submarines that are preserved.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Drum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drumskin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with parts of a player's body, or with some sort of implement such as a drumstick, to produce sound.
		Drums with cylindrical shells can be open at one end (as in the timbales) or, more commonly in the Western tradition, they can have another drum head.
		The sound of a drum depends on several variables including shell shape, size, thickness of shell, materials of the shell, type of drumhead, tension of the drumhead, position of the drum, location, and how it is struck.

	Drum
		Drums with cylindrical shells can be open at one end (as is the case with timbales), or can have two drum heads.
		Drums with two heads covering both ends of a tubular shell often have a small hole halfway between the two drumheads; the shell forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound.
		The sound of a drum depends on several variables, including shape, size and thickness of its shell, materials from which the shell was made, type of drumhead used and tension applied to it, position of the drum, location, and a manner in which it is struck.
