介绍（中）	传统上，成对的壶铃与编号均匀的喇叭配对，用于军事和仪式。鼓是由音乐家协会的成员用木槌演奏的，他们仔细保护与这些乐器相关的技术、曲目和传统。因此，公会的水壶匠和小号手的工资比普通士兵高。当用于仪式游行时，鼓通常挂在五颜六色的横幅上，骑在马背上演奏。欧洲法院和军事单位中的铠甲杀手往往是非洲黑人技术说明：铜质身体，三只小脚站立。头部用螺丝支撑，螺丝板被切割成奇妙的龙的形状。里面是一个钟形漏斗，从通风口升起。这些装置通常出现在17世纪和18世纪日耳曼地区的水壶上，被认为可以改善鼓的音调。
介绍（英）	Pairs of kettledrums were traditionally paired with sets of evenly numbered trumpets and used in military and ceremonial functions. The drums were played with wooden mallets by players who were members of the musicians guild who carefully guarded the techniques, repertoire, and traditions associated with these instruments. Accordingly, guild kettledrummers and trumpeters were paid more than the typical soldiers. When used in ceremonial processions, the drums were typically draped in colorful banners and mounted and played on horseback. Often, kettledrummers in European courts and military units were black African men. Technical description: Body of copper, standing on three small feet. Head braced with screws, the screw plates being cut in the form of fantastic dragons. Inside, rising from the ventl hole, is a bell-shaped funnel (schaltrictern). These devices are commonly found on seventeenth and eighteenth century kettledrums from Germanic areas and were thought to improve the tone of the drum.
