iDRUM was founded by Davidson Elie Conceptualist in the year 2000. iDRUM is a concept designed to present percussion in every part of society like it originated. Percussion was originally used to communicate, inspire, celebrate harvests and rights of passage and much more. iDRUM was born out of admiration for soulful Electronica/House, modern day tribal music.  The Afro Electronic/Elecoustic or Afree music creates its own unique style. The roots of soulful Electronica/House is dance disco, funky, jazz, blues dub reggae, calypso, latin, afro beat, and further back percussion. In a broader sense of concept, artists, not only Afro Percussionists, are combining pre-recorded or electronic instrumentation to live sets and performances (Instrumix or Instrumixing) in many styles of music.
