The Drum Block is a piece of musical furniture that beats a drum whenever someone walks by. It is the rhythm partner of the Flute Block, and both come from the same friendship scene with Robin. A farmer can also earn one from Gunther by donating the Ancient Drum to the Museum. Set along a path or a doorway, a few Drum Blocks give the farm a beat, and a line of Flute Blocks can carry the tune on top. It serves no farming purpose, but it is one of the most playful decorations in the valley.
Recipe
Robin hands over the blueprint once friendship with her reaches six hearts. The scene starts when the farmer walks into the Carpenter's Shop on the Mountain while Robin is at home. She asks whether the farmer has ever built anything out of wood. Either reply earns the same friendship, and she passes on the plans for both the Drum Block and the Flute Block. Robin stands behind her counter for most of the day, so a morning visit works well. Tuesdays are the exception, because she spends them at Pierre's General Store.
Six hearts takes steady gifting and conversation. Robin loves Goat Cheese, Peaches and Spaghetti. Her birthday is Fall 21, a good day for one of those gifts.
Gathering the materials is quick. Stone and Fiber turn up on almost any walk around the farm, and Copper Ore comes from the first floors of the Mines. Clint also sells Copper Ore at the Blacksmith for anyone short of time underground.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The block works as soon as it is placed. Stepping onto a tile next to it sets off a drum sound, so walking past a row of them plays a quick rhythm. Pairing them with Flute Blocks along the same route turns a walk into a short song.
Drum Blocks count as furniture, so they can be set down indoors as well as outside.
Notes
The free Drum Block from the Museum comes from Gunther. Donating the Ancient Drum earns it, as long as at least two other items have already been donated. The Ancient Drum is an artifact that can be dug from artifact spots at the Bus Stop, in Cindersap Forest and in Pelican Town. It also hides in Frozen Geodes, Omni Geodes and Artifact Troves. A spare Ancient Drum is worth keeping, because the Sewing Machine turns it into the Regal Mantle.
