A » A drum in architecture is a cylindrical or polygonal structure that supports a dome. It acts as a transitional element between the dome and the building, distributing the dome's weight evenly across the walls or columns below. This support is crucial for maintaining the dome's stability and integrity, allowing for grand, open interior spaces often found in significant historical and religious buildings.
