Resembling or having qualities of a drum; having a hollow, resonant, or cylindrical quality.
Compound: drum + -like (Old English gelic, meaning similar). The -like suffix creates descriptive adjectives comparing something to a prototype.
A 'drumlike sound' can evoke everything from a heartbeat to a distant explosion—it's one of those adjectives that works metaphorically in poetry and literally in science!
