Drumgender is a xenogender and specifically a musicagender which is based around drums and their music. It has two possible definitions:
- A gender based around drums, their aesthetics, and at the core, drum music and sounds. Since every instrument can be made to produce different kinds of sounds, this could be a diverse gender experience, but the general aesthetic of tambourines, powerful and excited tones, among other musical aesthetics, is the core of this gender.
- A subset of genderpiano where someone's gender is affected by playing and/or listening to the drums. One may feel their gender more strongly or feel a different gender/gender identity entirely when playing or listening to the drums. For example, one may be a demiboy normally, but be juxera when playing to and/or listening to the drums.
Someone who is drumgender could also be both of those definitions as well as either one of them. Similar terms include tambougender.
History
The term drumgender was coined as part of a series of new musicagenders based on instruments on March 8, 2021 by FANDOM user Reign of the breadsticcs.
Flag
The drumgender flag was also designed by Reign of the breadsticcs on March 8, 2021. The mostly grey color scheme of the flag represents how drum music doesn't have melodies but rather beats and pitches, intense ones at times (the darker greys) and softer, more energized ones at other times (the lighter greys).
