A leather drum is an atonal musical instrument, so it cannot be used to play the passtune. It is one of the two drums. When played, you will "beat a deafening row!" Applying a leather drum will awaken (and possibly scare) nearby monsters – including pets – and abuse your wisdom.[1]
Strategy
The leather drum is not especially useful for most players, who will probably discard it or stash it for later polypiling, hoping for a more valuable tool. One role that may find it worthwhile to carry is the Knight, as it can be used to awaken sleeping monsters and avoid an alignment penalty (it's still not the best tool for this job, as lighter and/or tonal instruments are also available). Since using it abuses wisdom, you should follow beating the drum with some activity that exercises wisdom, such as engraving Elbereth, or cures abuse, such as applying a unicorn horn.
