Drums are instruments that create sound through striking, belonging to the percussion family. In the Max Rebo Band, Jabba the Hutt's bodyguards Ak-rev and Umpass-stay, who were both crime lord affiliates, performed on drums. Following the Battle of Endor, the sentient Ewok species residing on the moon of Endor celebrated the downfall of the second Death Star by playing drums made with animal hides. Furthermore, drums saw use on the planet Akiva.
