Kind of drum needing attention? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ear
I believe this 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' acts as a 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" .)
