Islamic Interpretation
A drummer appearing in a vision symbolizes celebration and happiness. Should a drummer come to visit an ailing person in the dream, it suggests the sick individual will soon pass away, with drums played at the funeral rites. Alternatively, it may signal the person's recovery, leading people to rejoice and play music in celebration. A drummer can also represent a messenger bearing important news. The vision of a drummer may likewise indicate an affliction of colic. He may signify a powerful and intimidating individual. Other interpretations include representing one's own stomach, a bearer of false tidings, a panderer, or one who summons people to falsehood. (Refer also to the entry for Drum.)
