Did the Sarmatians use horns or drums in battles

[Michael Kerr]

Hi, often in battles in Ancient times, we hear of the use of musical instruments in battle either for morale building or signalling. Romans and Celts used horns etc, and Eastern Armies, Chinese, Central Asian and Persians used Kettledrums and horns. Are there any western sources in what instruments Sarmatians/Alans used when going into battle?
If the kettledrum was used in Persia and Central Asia wouldn't the Sarmatians have the same as Eastern ideas seemed to spread west?

The enormeous drums and trumpets use by the armies of the Middle East had a very significant downside: they were a heavy load to carry, so in the case of a defeat they were often lost, just like the tents, footservants and the like.
The Sarmatians, like all nomads, were described as lightly equipped, not in reference to their armour and weapons, but to the fact that they did not carry along the enormeous bagagetrain of civilised armies. Everything they needed was carried along on pack-horses. So usually, nomad armies did not carry drums and other such paraphernalia along. Instead of drumming, the nomads yelled. The Sarmatians moving into the Alfoldi plain probably retained this tradition.
