介绍（中）	传统上，成对的壶铃与编号均匀的喇叭配对，用于军事和仪式。这些乐器是由音乐家协会的成员用木槌演奏的，他们仔细保护与这些乐器相关的技术、曲目和传统。因此，公会的水壶匠和小号手的工资比普通士兵高。当用于仪式游行时，鼓通常挂在五颜六色的横幅上，骑在马背上演奏。欧洲法院和军事单位中的铠甲杀手往往是非洲黑人配对的较大滚筒（1991.137.1a，b），带有小的、有点凹陷的铜壳，由6组3条划线捆扎而成，可能用作成型导轨，在短熟铁三角架上；具有6个顶部扁平的调谐螺钉；用铜铆钉固定的装饰性铁支架；头部完整；箍和皮之间的亚麻包裹；气孔周围的漏斗移除可能产生的焊料残留物；布制横幅（b），采用双头鹰和饰板设计，流苏流苏，可能是在19世纪末使用一些较旧的材料组装而成。（Jayson Kerr Dobney，2003）
介绍（英）	Pairs of kettledrums were traditionally paired with sets of evenly numbered trumpets and used in military and in ceremonial functions. The instruments were played with wooden mallets by members of a musicians guild who carefully guarded the techniques, repertoire, and traditions associated with these instruments. Accordingly, guild kettledrummers and trumpeters were paid more than the typical soldiers. When used in ceremonial processions, the drums were typically draped in colorful banners and mounted and played on horseback. Often, kettledrummers in European courts and military units were black African men. Larger drum of matched pair (1991.137.1a,b) with small, somewhat dented copper shell banded with 6 groups of 3 scribed lines possibly used as shaping guides, on short wrought iron tripod; having 6 tuning screws with flatted tops; decorative iron brackets fastened with copper rivets; head intact; linen wrapping between hoop and skin; possible solder residue from removal of funnel around airhole; cloth banner (b) with applied double-head eagle and escutcheon design and tasseled fringe, probably assembled in late 19th century using some older materials.
