Flavour text
When creating a new War Drum, Goblin designers sought out the highest quality skulls. Serra Angel skulls were most highly prized, although most acknowledged that the skull of the exotic Sea Serpent made for a richer tone.
Rulings
Multiple War Drums are not cumulative. They are redundant.
When combined with an effect that reads "Each creature you control can't be blocked by more than one creature," none of your creatures can be blocked.
