Wind drums were ancient ritual musical instruments once used by the Grans, a three-eyed, goat-faced species from the planet of Kinyen. Such drums performed a ceremonial function at some point during the Draggulch Period, while the Gran society went through a spiritual era. The Gran Baskol Yeesrim, who represented the world of Malastare in the Senate of the Galactic Republic around 32 BBY, once offered his colleague Palpatine of Naboo one such relic. That particular wind drum was a barrel-shaped object decorated with stylized flowery motifs, and was at least one millennium old at the time. It was displayed in the reception room of the Nabooian politician's apartment suite on Coruscant, capital of the Galactic Republic.
