The author put this large drums probably for efect.
Macedonians and Thracians had small rums that they hit with the palm of the hand.
A large drum beating for the Persians was shown in the Cinetsita 1960 production "Battle of Marathon" but it si ahostorical in my opinion.
Ancient sources do not mention drums in Cheronea.
Kind regards
