What does drum mean in cockney slang?

In Cockney slang, "drum" means "head". This is based on the phrase "drum and bass", which is a type of electronic music, but Cockneys used it to refer to the head as a way to avoid using the actual word.

So, if a Cockney says "Look at that bloke's drum", they're actually talking about the bloke's head.
