I can't hear a turkey drum. I just found this video, and think I can hear drumming. Sounds kind of like a motorcycle rev its engine. Is there drumming in this video.
Y’all ever been this close? 👀 #hunt #hunting #outdoors. huntinreels · Original audio

Yes that bird is drumming, but you have to listen with headphones, in a vehicle, or stereo with good bass. I don't hear it with just the phone speaker.
If you can hear the "spit", the drum comes right after it. You can also tell when he does it by his feathers quivering.
I used to not be able to hear it. I was even at a buddy's a few years ago, with some other turkey hunters, and he had a pet gobbler. They were amazed that I couldn't hear it drumming and it was right by my leg.
However, that all changed a few years ago when I was hunting and had heard one gobble at the end of a long narrow field to my left. I had sat up facing the field, and neglected to cover my back left side.
I was two steps to the right of the logging road that ran parallel to the field, with my back to the road.
That joker came down the road and was standing right behind me without making a peep. All of a sudden, I heard and FELT a thunderous "VROOOOOMMMM" !
I melted and almost came to tears because I knew what it was. And, no, we didn't get it, since it saw my dad move and was gone. He hadn't heard it.
Since then, I've heard it maybe a half dozen times, but they have to be close. And, I can't tell direction.
I do hear it occasionally on videos, but I have a good speaker system hooked to it.
Catman has several videos with drumming, after he upgraded his mic a few years ago.
Being able to hear it is a definite advantage.
