A fish, especially a croaker or similar species, that makes drumming or croaking sounds underwater using specialized muscles.
Compound: drum + fish. Called drumfish because they produce loud drumming or grunting sounds by contracting their swim bladder muscles—a form of underwater communication.
Male drumfish literally 'sing' underwater by vibrating muscles against their swim bladder—some species are so loud you can hear them above water!
