Iqela le-crum le-crum yeyona nto iphambili yendlela yokuphakamisa yoomatshini bokuphakamisa. Isetyenziselwa ikakhulu ukuvelisa umoya nokukhuthaza intambo yocingo ukuze uqonde ukuphakamisa kunye nokuthoba intshukumo ye-hook. Njengenxalenye ebalulekileyo yenkqubo yokulayisha umthwalo, iqela lesigubhu linxulumene ngokuthe ngqo nokhuseleko kunye nokuthembeka komsebenzi wokuphakanyiswa. Ngokwendlela yokwakhiwa, inokwahlulwa ibe ziindidi ezimbini: umaleko-onsung wiming kunye nomoya omninzi. Isetyenziswe ngokubanzi kwizixhobo ezahlukeneyo zokuphakamisa ezinje ngeekarabhu zebhulorho, i-guntry cranes, iikhreyithi zentsimbi, njl. Njl.
Iqela ledrum libunjwe ikakhulu ngumzimba wedrum, ukudibanisa ishaft, inkxaso yokuthwala, isixhobo sokukhusela kunye nezinye izinto. Idrum idla ngokuhamba ngomgangatho ophezulu okanye i-Weldid Steed Wakhiwo, kwaye umphezulu wenziwa ngentambo ye-spiral grooves ukuqinisekisa ukuba ulungelelwaniso lwentambo. Xa isebenza, idrum iqhutywa ukujikeleza ngabacuphi phantsi kwe-recer ukuya nokukhupha intambo ngocingo ngokweemfuno zoyilo. Amaqela e-Drum yanamhlanje asebenzisa iiparamitha ezihle kakhulu kunye neenkqubo zonyango ezingaphezulu kokunciphisa ngokufanelekileyo ucingo lwentambo kwaye lwandise ubomi beenkonzo. Ezinye ii-cranes ezinzima zixhotyiswe ngezixhobo zokucwangciswa kwentambo ukuqinisekisa ulungiselelo lwe-neat ngexesha lokuhamba kwamandla amaninzi.
