Condiment thrown at drums (7)
I believe the answer is:
mustard
'condiment' is the definition.
(mustard is a kind of condiment)
'thrown at drums' is the wordplay.
'thrown' indicates anagramming the letters.
'at'+'drums'='atdrums'
'atdrums' with letters rearranged gives 'MUSTARD'.
(Other definitions for mustard that I've seen before include "Standard of keenness" , "Hot-tasting condiment" , "Byword for keenness" , "The colour" , "Yellow sauce" .)
