The Evolution of character Drum
From left to right
Shell bone, bronze, small seal, and clerical scripts
Drumming
The pinyin of character Drum：Gu3
Explanation
Shell Bone Script of character Drum: The left is a drum we learnt in the section of character Happy, the right is a drumstick held by a hand. A person is drumming. Actually, the character should be called Beat drum, not Drum. But why it made the verb to be a noun, I don’t know.
Bronze script of character Drum: The left is similar. The right top drumstick is changed a lot, the bottom is the hand.
Small Seal Script of character Drum: Similar to bronze script.
Clerical Script of character Drum: Similar to small seal script.
