You need to be a lot more specific. What kind of drums are you even talking about? Your question is too vague to be answered. Please link relevant abilities and rules.
Looks tough. The Goblin Fire Drum doesn't exlicitly state the number of hands required, but from my personal experience with a wide range of drums, absent very dedicated showmanship training, all kinds of drumming requires both hands.
The Goblin Fire Drum is fairly small, a hand-beaten bongo style drum. Beating it with a 5-pound rod does not seem feasible.
So, you need both hands for the drumming during your move action, and you need your rod in your hand during your standard action spellcasting. That means you need a way to get your rod into your hand as a free or swift action (or more hands). Quickdraw should work, IMO, or a Glove of Storing. The game lacks rules for receiving an item that an assistant stands ready to hand over.
Perhaps if you use the rod as a drumstick....

Rick Allen would disagree with you.

And you don't think he trained long and hard for the specific feat of one-handed drumming?
As I was saying, I know one-handed drummers exist.
