Answer to “Instrument that you hit to the beat” in Cookie Jam

This hint may seem easy, but just in case it’s throwing you off or making you second-guess yourself, here’s the answer:

1. Instrument that you hit to the beat – drum

A drum is a musical instrument that produces sound when it is hit, struck, or tapped, usually with sticks, mallets, brushes, or hands. It typically consists of a cylindrical shell with a membrane (called a drumhead or drum skin) stretched over one or both ends. When you strike the surface, it vibrates and creates that familiar beat.

According to Wiki, drums are one of the oldest musical instruments in human history, and their origins date back to at least 5000 BCE, over 7,000 years ago. Some of the earliest versions were made from things like hollowed-out tree trunks or gourds, with animal skins stretched over them. Archaeologists have found ancient drums in places like Neolithic China and Mesopotamia.

Drums were not invented at one single point but gradually developed in different forms across cultures and millennia.
