What is the significance of "The Drum"?

I have read of this drum making the rounds to different rallys, but never understood the meaning behind it, and where it all got started.
Anyone care to fill in the blanks to this topic?

Thanks,
Leon

View some of Klavdy's videos from the 2005 Central FJ Rally and you'll understand:

I have view nearly all of the clubs rally videos, and I must have missed something.
Was it Klavdy that introduced us to the drum?
Was it bought by him, and now has turned into sort of a club mascot?

Sorry for sounding too think-headed if the answers to my questions are right in front of me.

The drum was almost a tanning bed.




Some urged me to build a fire it it and float it in the Tellico River.

I considered it for a few minutes...

it's klowny's little legacy.  he buys it, then leaves it with us to figure out who's gonna be stuck with it each year.  funny guy, he is.

I remember sitting at Klavdys place prior to its actual arrival chatting to Klavdy about it.......he was EXCITED.........was a COOL idea, but I think some on the group who have had the pleasure of its company as a pillion have a different word for it...... :rofl2:

But I will say no more......this story belongs in the hands of Klavdy and the Kustodians!

Way too long (was it 3 years?), but no one else would take it.

It didn't take too much room at home...






But hauling it was a different matter altogether.
