<onlyinclude> This is a list of drums used in the Caribbean music area, including the islands of the Caribbean Sea, as well as the musics of Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Bahamas, and Bermuda. It only includes drums that are indigenous to the local music area or are a vital and long-standing part of local culture. It does not include drums that are, for example, a part of Western style orchestras, nor does it include trap sets and other common drums used in popular music recordings of many genres across the world. Drums can be classified and described using a number of criteria, including the production of sound and the shape of the instrument. The presence of a cloth, fabric or skin head, the number of heads, and the constituent materials are also used to distinguish between different kinds of drums. Similar drums within a culture may be divided based on their manner of use, performance methods and rhythms, intended context, audience or performer, or details of the instruments' manufacture, such as its precise size or the technique used to lace the head onto the body of the drum. </onlyinclude>

MAKE - English law. To perform or execute; as to make his law, is to perform that law which a man had bound himself to do; that is, to clear himself of an action commenced against him, by his oath, and the oaths of his neighbors. To make default, is to fail to appear in proper time. To make oath, is to swear according to the form prescribed by law.

MAKER - This term is applied to one who makes a promissory note and promises to pay it when due. He who makes a bill of exchange is called the drawer, and frequently in common parlance and in books of Reports we find the word drawer inaccurately applied to the maker of a promissory note.
