Drum is a rural community located west of Athlone in the south of county Roscommon, close to the River Shannon. The name Drum is often used to refer to the whole area rather than just a particular village or townland. Bibi Baskin once described it as being "not a town, nor a village, but a place apart." Drum is a half parish which combined with Clonown and a large area west of the Shannon forms the Parish of Ss. Peter & Paul (Athlone, Clonown & Drum). St. Brigid's Church is considered to be at the heart of Drum, along with Drum parish hall, monastic site, graveyard and community centre.

This site is hosted by Drum Community Sports & Social Centre Ltd. This site aims to be a hub for the entire community and we welcome local organisations to get in contact with us if they wish to be part of the project or to have a page for their organisation.
