Odd coming from instruments, trumpets and drums (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rum

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'odd' is the definition.
(rum can mean strange or dubious)

'instruments trumpets and drums' is the wordplay.
'RUM' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm uncertain how this is indicated.

'coming from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rum that I've seen before include "Spirit (in the punch?)" , "Odd sort of spirit used in grog" , "Sugar-cane spirit" , "Odd sort of drink" , "Pirate's grog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
