Drum (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈdrɨm]) (Welsh: Y Drum = the ridge) is a summit in the Carneddau mountains in north Wales, 2 km north-east of Foel-fras. It is 771 m (2,526 ft) high. It is also known as Carnedd Penyborth-Goch. Its eastern slopes are drained by the Afon Tafolog, a tributary of Afon Roe which flows through the village of Rowen before joining the River Conwy. It is a UK listed Nuttall.

Drum is one of the last vestiges of high ground before the Carneddau drop gradually towards the Irish Sea to the north. The views from up here are extensive, with Llwyntmor looking particularly impressive across Llyn Anafon. If you're lucky, you might meet some of the Carneddau's wild ponies while exploring.

Have visited Drum in terrible weather before with no views. However today we were treated to lovely views. The approach can be boggy to this mountain. Nice wind shelter at the top.
