Dear yitzy!
When dealing with any thing in life the guideline for the Orthodox Jew is halocho. If you ever take a test on any halocho in the whole toire and you answer machloikes on all the question s you will score at least 80%. When asking why drum people do something you should know the answers won’t be found here the answers you may find in shulchan oruch and in its commentaries. If you want marei mekomos I can post a few.
