To hear the muffled beating of a drum, denotes that some absent friend is in distress and calls on you for aid. To see a drum, foretells amiability of character and a great aversion to quarrels and dissensions. It is an omen of prosperity to the sailor, the farmer and the tradesman alike.

Do not wait for the rest, if you had a drumbeat. This dream for war. The same dream foretells disorder in your house, misunderstandings and mutual incomprehension.
