Foot basin drum, as its name implies, is a kind of basin shaped like washing feet, which is mainly spread in chibi city and its surrounding counties and cities such as Chongyang, Jiayu, Xian 'an, Honghu and Linxiang, with a history of 1800 years. During weddings, funerals and festivals, you can always hear the sound of foot washing drums. This custom reached its peak in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and several kinds of drums were exhibited, including "farming drum", "digging drum", "festival drum" and "sitting mourning drum".

Its performance occasions are particularly typical of folk dragon dances. Whether it is a single dragon lantern, a group of dragon lanterns, female lanterns or grass lanterns, there are quite a number of drum teams, with dozens or hundreds of drums at a time, and the drums are deafening.

In 2007, Chibi Foot Pot Drum was listed in Hubei Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List.

Chibi people have special feelings for drums. There used to be a custom of "drum first, then having children". My wife is pregnant, so I asked the drummer to come in and play the drums well, which means to have a son and be a hero in the future. Once born, you can beat the drum to support the frame and express your joy.

"One ding and one drum" is a common occurrence. There are craftsmen who specialize in making footbath drums. The wooden board for making this drum is planed into a circle, covered with nitrated cowhide and fixed with bamboo nails. The drum is painted with a pattern of "Eight Diagrams Array", which makes a loud sound when struck, giving people the power to make progress.
