A drum of earthquake is a magical drum. Applying a charged drum of earthquake will create several pits around you, anger nearby peaceful monsters, and wake up (and possibly scare) all monsters on the level.[1] This will "produce a heavy, thunderous rolling!" A drum with no charges behaves like a leather drum.

The pits created by a drum of earthquake can destroy altars, even on undiggable dungeon levels. This is the only way to destroy the unaligned altars in the Valley of the Dead, Orcus-town, and Moloch's Sanctum.

Drums of earthquake are atonal musical instruments, so they cannot be used to play the passtune.
