Background of the Study:
Traditional drumming in Ife Central Local Government forms an integral component of community festivals, serving not only as a source of entertainment but also as a medium for cultural expression and social cohesion (Adewale, 2023). The rhythmic beats of indigenous drums have historically conveyed messages, marked ceremonial occasions, and reinforced communal identities (Balogun, 2024). In contemporary society, traditional drumming faces challenges from modern music and entertainment trends, which threaten to overshadow these age-old practices (Folorunsho, 2025). This study examines the multifaceted role of traditional drumming in festivals, highlighting its impact on community participation, cultural preservation, and the reinforcement of social norms. By exploring both historical records and current festival practices, the research aims to demonstrate how traditional drumming remains a vibrant expression of communal heritage and an important tool for intergenerational communication (Adewale, 2023).
