Explanation:
I have only heard this word used in Puerto Rico, a corruption of the English word "drum." Standard Spanish would use the word: "bidón"/"bidones".

Explanation:
I've heard this before too - a "Spanglish" corruption of the word "drum". I'm pretty sure this is what we;re talking about, I went on an extensive search just in case and came up with nada. I'd go with drum. Hope this helps! Suerte!
