It’s one of side quests offered by The Bards College.

The drum can be found in Halldir’s Cairn.

It’s a vast dungeon, full of ghosts and draugrs.

Defeat all monsters, then loot the chest marked by the game to get the item.

Head out the town and go south-west, eventually turning south.

Reaching the cave shouldn’t take you too much time.

Start exploring the cave.

Ignore the starting destination point, as it’s above you and it will be hard to reach.

PC

Afterwards you’re able to use the key to initiate the door in the distance.

Head south and go up the stairs onto the upper level.

Once again go south and afterwards west.

PC

After the first battle, once again use the recently obtained key to fire up the nearby door.

Head west, where you will be additionally attacked byDraugrs.

Eliminate the monsters and turn north.

PC

One of theDraugrswill be resting on a throne and you should attack him before he can join the fight.

As you have probably noticed, access to the further part of the Cairn is protected by bars.

The problem can be luckily easily solved by interacting with the lever behind the throne (screen above).

PC

After reaching the next area, deal with moreGhosts.

Temporarily ignore the new lever and move to solving the puzzle.

There are three pillars in the area, the locations of which have been marked on the map above.

PlayStation

Begin attacking theDraugr Scourgewho will appear in front of you.

Eventually it will disappear and be replaced by a few types ofHalldir(screen above).

Attack theDraugr Scourgeonly after taking care of all of Halldir’s copies (screen above).

Xbox

I’d recommend increasing your elemental resistance or use protective spells, as otherwise you might die quite easily.

In addition you should use the local pillars as cover, especially if you character prefers ranged attacks.

Keep fighting until you defeat the Draugr.
