The World's Largest Drum?
At Purdue, the staple of the school's pre-game routine is when the "World's Largest Drum" is wheeled out by a number of honorary pushers while two other band members beat the drum on either side.
In 1921 the drum cost $911 to make by the Leedy Manufacturing Co and was unveiled in August of that year. Although its actual measurements have been a closely guarded secret, the World's Largest Drum is synonymous with Purdue University.
The University of Texas has "Big Bertha," which is 8 feet tall and 44 inches wide, while the University of Missouri brags about "Big Mo," which measures in at 9 feet tall and 4 feet, 6 inches wide
