The World’s Largest Drum, also known as the “Big Bass Drum,” was created in 1921 by the Purdue All-American Marching Band. It measures 10 feet in diameter and weighs a whopping 500 pounds. The drum is played by six members of the marching band, who use mallets to produce its booming sound. It has become a beloved tradition at Purdue and has even been featured in movies and television shows.
