Drum (Irish: An Droim, meaning 'the ridge')[1] is a civil parish in south County Roscommon about 5 km west of Athlone.

Meehambee Dolmen, a portal tomb estimated to be 5,500 years old, is located in the northern part of the parish.

Melchior's son John Moore was an astute businessman and besides being a merchant in Dublin built up an estate in the parish of Drum through inheritance and acquisition.

In 1855, when John O'Sullivan was in financial difficulties, Mount Florence was advertised for sale but the family retained it.

[3] Drum was the birthplace of Fr James Coyle (1873-1921), who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in Birmingham, Alabama on 11 August 1921.
