Kind of drum needing attention? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'kind of drum' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'attention?' is the second definition.
(having someone's ear is having their attention)
'needing' is the link.
(Other definitions for ear that I've seen before include "Auditory organ" , "Sense organ" , "Listener in the cornfield" , "Fruiting head of a cereal" , "cut" .)
